Ukraine reports renewed Starshield curbs across frontline units
What's new: Kyiv said the limits again held speeds near 161 kph, hindering interceptors against Russian jet-powered drones.
Ukraine reported fresh disruptions to Starshield, the military version of SpaceX’s Starlink service, with President Volodymyr Zelensky saying the limits affected the entire front line and Russian-occupied areas for several days. Zelensky said systemic restrictions again held operating speed to about 161 kph, preventing some Ukrainian interceptors from moving fast enough to bring down Russian jet-powered drones. He said some strikes had already landed and Kyiv was seeking answers from the US side. Ukrainian officials said a similar cap hit Starlink and Starshield in mid-October before service resumed on Oct. 24. The latest problems surfaced a day after US-brokered Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi ended.
