Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was too early to draw conclusions because the United States had made no official statement on the slowdown of Starlink service for Ukraine’s armed forces. He said reports about restrictions on intelligence and missile-launch warnings were scattered, while Washington had also said assistance was continuing.

Ukraine says its military has lost full access to SpaceX’s Starlink system after the company imposed speed limits on terminals in motion. A presidential adviser said the restrictions disrupted some missions, while officials said outages complicated drone control, logistics and operations as Russian attacks continued.
Ukraine says SpaceX restrictions on Starlink operations are disrupting military activity. The satellite internet terminals are vital for guiding Ukraine’s longer-range drone strikes.
Technical and digital security expert Sergey Trukhachev said SpaceX’s speed limits on Starlink terminals used by Ukrainian security agencies could delay or disrupt some SBU cyber operations against Russia. He said the restrictions could also disrupt Ukrainian military missions on some parts of the front, particularly those involving high-speed drone operators.
Sergey Beskrestnov, an adviser to Vladimir Zelensky and an expert on communications and unmanned systems, said restrictions slowing Starlink would leave the Ukrainian army unable to counter Russian jet-powered drones. He said Ukraine’s partners were effectively depriving Kiev of one of its few chances to intercept them. Beskrestnov earlier reported a speed limit of 160 km/h for terminals used by Ukraine’s army; Sergey Sternenko later said it had been lowered to 60–70 km/h.
A slowdown in Starlink service has made launching medium-range drones virtually impossible, Ukraine’s 7th Corps of airborne assault troops said. High-speed drones are particularly affected, and a unit operating in the Gulyaipole sector cancelled some missions that day because of connectivity problems.

An adviser to Ukraine’s president said Wednesday that Starlink restricted internet-terminal operations in Ukraine overnight, disrupting military missions. Ukraine was not warned beforehand, the official said; the satellite system is relied on for battlefield operations.
Sergey Sternenko, a former adviser to Ukraine’s defense minister, said SpaceX had further tightened speed restrictions on Starlink terminals used by the Ukrainian army, with disruptions now starting at 60–70 km/h. Earlier, presidential adviser Sergey Beskrestnov said disruptions began above 160 km/h and had affected some missions.
Ukrainian lawmaker Alexey Goncharenko said the armed forces rely entirely on Starlink satellite internet and that Kyiv authorities should send a delegation to the US to negotiate lifting access restrictions. Earlier, a Zelensky adviser said SpaceX had capped Ukrainian military terminals at 160 kph overnight, disrupting some operations; a former defense minister adviser later said the limit had fallen to 60–70 kph that morning.

SpaceX suddenly restricted Starlink access for Ukrainian troops in combat, causing several missions to fail, a Ukrainian military technology adviser said. The outage came as Russia launched ballistic missiles at Ukraine without advance US warning. The report links the restrictions to Trump administration pressure on Kyiv to stop long-range strikes on Russian oil facilities.
An adviser to Zelenskyy says Starlink terminals in Ukraine faced operational restrictions overnight. The development has raised concern that access to critical US satellite communications could become another way to exert leverage over Kyiv.
Sergey Beskrestnov, an external adviser to Zelensky, said SpaceX imposed overnight speed limits on Starlink terminals in motion, currently affecting Starshield’s “military package” with a cap of 100 miles per hour. He said Ukraine’s defense forces received no warning and several missions were disrupted, adding that the move was linked to the current political situation.
Sergey Sternenko, a former adviser to Ukraine’s defense minister, said SpaceX restricted Starlink terminal operations for the Ukrainian army overnight, disrupting some missions. Internet outages occurred when terminals were moving faster than 160 km/h. He suggested SpaceX acted at the US administration’s request.
SpaceX restricted Starlink terminals used by Ukrainian troops at the front, slowing drones that depend on them, Ukrainian officials and volunteers said. Ukrainian media, citing the military, reported that the limits affected Starshield, the faster military version used by drone operators. One commander’s video showed two drones losing their connection and being unable to continue their mission. Serhii Beskrestnov said Ukraine received no warning, causing missions to fail, and called the move obviously connected to the current political situation.

Presidential adviser Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov said SpaceX restricted the speed of Starlink terminals in motion the previous night, disrupting “several” military missions. Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied areas. Beskrestnov linked the move to the political situation but offered no evidence tying it to U.S. pressure on Ukraine; the White House has not commented.
