Ukraine reports stable Starlink connection after US‑imposed restrictions

Ukraine’s military says its connection to the Starlink satellite system is now stable, ten days after the service was abruptly limited.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the United States and other allies for restoring the system, which he described as vital for air‑defence and frontline logistics.

The Starlink terminals, built by SpaceX and overseen by the US government, are a key component of Ukrainian defence operations. Earlier this month, sudden speed caps of 160 km/h (99 mph) on the terminals disrupted several combat missions.

Following diplomatic engagement, the restrictions have been lifted, allowing the Ukrainian armed forces to resume full‑speed communications essential for coordinating attacks and protecting the country’s airspace.
