Ukraine says Starshield back to normal, Musk says Kyiv violated terms

Ukrainian officials have reported that the Starshield satellite network has returned to normal functionality following recent service disruptions. Elon Musk stated that the service issues were triggered by Kyiv’s violation of the platform's terms of service, though he did not provide specific details regarding the nature of those violations.

The service instability occurred in the context of recent geopolitical developments involving the United States. Reports indicate that the disruptions coincided with an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding a deal to purchase Russian diesel, which was accompanied by pressure on the Ukrainian government to cease its military strikes against Russian oil refineries.
