Kyiv is in talks with SpaceX and the Pentagon to lift a speed cap imposed on its military satellite communication service, Starshield.

The restriction cuts data connections when communication terminals move faster than 160 kph, disrupting drone operations and increasing vulnerability to Russian weapons.

President Donald Trump stated he did not order the restrictions and doubted the disruption came from Elon Musk.
