Presidential adviser says Ukraine is in talks to lift speed limit on military satellite network

Ukrainian officials are currently in negotiations with SpaceX and the Pentagon to remove speed restrictions placed on the military satellite communication network used by the country. An adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the talks on Friday, noting that the Ukrainian government has not received an explanation regarding the cause of these limitations.

Reports indicate that the restrictions, which were imposed earlier in the week, hindered the Ukrainian military's capacity to intercept Russian attack drones for a 24-hour period. In response to the situation, the White House stated that the administration did not disrupt the satellite system.
