Ukraine Starlink speed restrictions in effect again, Zelenskyy says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said speed restrictions on Starlink satellite internet are again in effect, with military units reporting "significant disruptions" comparable to the limits imposed in October. The renewed curbs affect battlefield connectivity for Ukrainian forces, who rely on the SpaceX service for communications and drone operations. Zelenskyy's disclosure signals that the earlier restrictions, which were tied to negotiations over funding and coverage, have not been fully resolved. The October episode drew attention to how dependent Ukraine's military is on a privately operated network. What to watch next is whether Kyiv and SpaceX reach a durable arrangement on service terms and whether the disruptions persist across front-line units.
