Ukraine says it can’t stop Russian strikes because Starshield is limited again

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said today that Starshield has again been disabled on fast-moving drones in Ukrainian territory occupied by Russian forces, and that the US has provided "very little" information about the return of the restriction.

"We have detected speed restrictions on Starshield on our Ukrainian territory again, in the temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine," Zelenskyy said in a speech at the 9th European Political Community Summit in Ireland. "The speed limit is back at 161 kilometers per hour—that’s 100 miles per hour."

Zelenskyy's allegation is that Starshield—the military variant of SpaceX's Starlink satellite service—stops working on Ukrainian military drones when they travel above 161 kilometers per hour.
