Ukraine reports new disruptions to SpaceX Starshield satellite service

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reported renewed disruptions to Starshield, the military version of SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet system. Ukrainian forces along the frontline and in occupied areas have experienced systematic connectivity issues for several days, which Zelenskyy stated were "not random errors." The outages have reportedly hindered air defense units from intercepting Russian drones.

The service disruptions involve speed caps that disconnect terminals when traveling at speeds of 161 km/h. Similar limitations occurred last month following political disagreements over U.S. policy toward the conflict. SpaceX founder Elon Musk previously denied responsibility for past disruptions while accusing Ukraine of misusing commercial Starlink services for military operations, while U.S. President Donald Trump has denied involvement in the restrictions.
