Ukraine's Starlink satellite speeds restored after a week of front-line disruption

Ukraine's access to Starlink and Starshield satellite links has been fully restored following a week of disruptions that affected front-line military operations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Saturday that connection speeds have returned to levels matching those prior to the restrictions.

The slowdown, which lasted for more than a week, had previously hindered Kyiv's defensive capabilities against Russian attacks. With speeds now back to the necessary operational level, Ukrainian forces can resume unhindered communications along the front lines.
