Ukraine says Starlink still restricted after Trump says limits lifted
Issues remain with the network used by the Ukrainian military, sources say, after repeated denials of a deliberate slowdown.
Ukraine is still recording issues with the Starlink network, sources within the defence ministry say, after Donald Trump said limits on the satellite uplink had been reversed by Elon Musk.
The sources told the BBC that instances of drones experiencing connection loss at speeds of 161km/h (100mph) were being recorded, hampering military operations.
The US president had denied instructing the tech billionaire to restrict connectivity to Starlink's military-grade counterpart, Starshield, before saying on Thursday that Musk had "put it back".
Ukraine uses both the civilian service Starlink and the more secure Starshield, depending on what communications are needed.
