WorldZelensky says Starshield speed limits slow frontline response

Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday that speed limits on the US military-grade satellite system Starshield are hindering Ukrainian forces’ coordination of drone strikes against Russian forces. Frontline units reported that the equipment stops working at speeds of 130–160 kilometres per hour in some sectors. Separately, a Ukrainian brigade said it had used an aerial drone to evacuate a wounded soldier from the front line for the first time.
