SpaceX Starlink limits for Ukrainian military

Ukraine says Starlink/Starshield was throttled from October 14, grounding drones; Zelensky confirmed on October 24 that speeds were restored. The WSJ says Trump asked Musk to restore service. Musk now says Ukrainian forces broke Starlink terms by using it for drone strikes to kill people, that this was closed last week, and that Starshield is controlled by the US government. Democratic lawmakers wrote to Musk.

    Zelensky said restrictions on military Starlink terminals remain in Ukraine, leaving interceptor drones unable to function, but do not apply in the EU, where vehicles tested at 180 kph kept their connection. He concluded the limits are deliberate rather than technical.
