SpaceX Starlink Restrictions Reportedly Disrupt Ukrainian Military Operations

SpaceX reportedly restricted Starlink terminal operations for the Ukrainian military overnight, causing internet disruptions at speeds above 160 km/h and disrupting several military missions. A former Ukrainian defense ministry adviser attributed the move to a request from the US administration. The development comes amid reports that the US administration had been considering limiting support to Ukraine, including potential pressure on SpaceX to curtail Starlink access. Ukrainian President Zelensky also stated that the US did not warn Ukraine about Russian missile launches the previous night.
