Musk says US government may be behind slowdown of Ukraine drone speeds

Article Context

Elon Musk said any Starlink speed limits on Ukrainian drones are decided by the US military and president, not SpaceX, after Kyiv reported unexpected restrictions disrupting battlefield missions. Starshield, the military version of Starlink, is controlled by the US government, which has not commented. The limits were partially restored, and Ukraine suspects they are tied to strains with Washington, coinciding with a large Russian attack that killed people in Kyiv and cut power to about 600,000 people. Zelensky visited London, where the UK pledged faster missile deliveries.
