> Ukraine's military has again faced major disruptions to Starshield for several days, with operating speed capped at 161 kph, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. He said the restrictions affect operations along the front and in Russian-occupied areas, making it harder to intercept Russian jet-powered drones. Ukraine is working with the United States to determine why the limits were imposed.
