Ukrainian officials have reported ongoing limitations to the Starlink and Starshield satellite systems, which are critical for the country's military operations and air defenses. While President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that access to the satellite services had been restored, reports indicate that restrictions remain in place, including a speed cap that reportedly hinders the effectiveness of key air defense systems.
A dispute has emerged regarding the responsibility for these service limitations, involving the Trump administration, Ukrainian officials, and SpaceX. European officials have confirmed that the restrictions persist, highlighting a disconnect between the administration's claims of restoration and the operational reality on the ground in Ukraine.
