> Ukraine is seeking an explanation from the United States after reports that SpaceX’s militarized Starlink system, Starshield, faces speed limits. Volodymyr Zelensky said restrictions over Russian-occupied territory and the front line make it impossible to use interceptors against Shahed-type drones. SpaceX denies any change to the system.
