Zelensky says Starshield satellite restrictions hurting Ukrainian forces

Zelensky said Ukrainian units have seen significant disruptions to Starshield satellite connectivity for several days. He called them speed restrictions imposed by the system, not random errors. He said they are helping Russia kill. The statement came as US envoys met Putin. No response from the provider appears in the input.

Why it matters: Military communications on the front line depend on the satellite network.
