Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine's use of SpaceX's Starlink system remains partially restricted, despite earlier indications of a full restoration. He emphasized that these restrictions seem deliberate and are hampering military efforts to intercept Russian attacks.
Zelensky noted that the limitations on Starlink's military use came shortly after Ukraine's successful counter-offensive against Russian forces, leading him to believe that the restrictions are a 'planned operation' rather than a result of technical issues.
