Ukraine President Zelensky Claims Starshield Internet Restrictions Hampering Military Operations

Kathmandu. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine's army is facing new restrictions on Starshield satellite internet. This system, operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX, plays a crucial role in frontline communication. Ukraine first reported problems with Starshield usage last month. This occurred after a dispute between Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump during the US-Russia diesel agreement.

President Zelenskyy said, “The recent problems are not ‘random errors’. Trump and Musk initially denied responsibility for the recent disruptions, although Musk later accused Ukraine of misusing SpaceX's Starlink internet service for military purposes. After that, all parties stated that full access had been restored. Starshield is the military-grade version of SpaceX's Starlink.
