Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused SpaceX of misrepresenting the reasons for speed restrictions imposed on Starshield, Ukraine's military satellite system, characterizing the decision as politically motivated rather than technical. The restrictions, in place for five days as of Friday, limit Ukrainian drones to speeds below 161 km/h (100 mph), with connections lost at higher speeds.
Why it matters
Starshield restrictions directly affect Ukraine's military operations on the frontline, making the dispute over their cause and duration a matter of operational consequence in the ongoing conflict.
What remains uncertain
The source does not specify SpaceX's stated technical reasons for the restrictions or confirm whether the speed limits remain in effect beyond the five-day period mentioned.
