Ukraine says Starlink and Starshield speeds are restored

Ukraine’s defence ministry said the connection was stable above 400 kilometres per hour after earlier limits capped Starshield at 160 kph. Ukrainian officials said the restrictions had hindered air-defence and drone operations.

SpaceX chief Elon Musk then accused Ukraine’s military of violating the service’s terms by using it for offensive strikes. A Ukrainian adviser disputed that account, saying the country could not use Starlink for long- or medium-range attack-drone operations. Reuters said responsibility for the earlier limits remained contested.
