Trump Says Musk Restored Starlink in Ukraine; Kyiv Disputes It
U.S. President Donald Trump said Elon Musk restored Starlink in Ukraine, but officials in Kyiv say speed limits on their terminals remain in place. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump called Musk on Wednesday to ask him to lift the restrictions, and the service worked more normally on Thursday. A Ukrainian official told the Kyiv Independent that reports of a restoration were 'all false' and that the cap of about 161 km/h is still in effect. Accounts of who imposed the limit conflict.…
- Kyiv maintains that the 161 km/h cap is still in effect.
- Rubio promised an answer within 48 hours on raising the limit to 400 km/h.
🔎 Why it matters: The dispute centers on the roughly 160 km/h cap on Starshield terminals, which Ukraine links to drones and fast-moving units, and on which Washington and Kyiv give opposing accounts.
📈 Upside: According to the Journal, the system worked more normally on Thursday, after Trump's call to Musk.
📉 Risk: If the 161 km/h cap remains in effect, Starshield terminals' capacity for drones and moving units would stay restricted, and Rubio's response on 400 km/h is still pending.
