Ukraine’s military says it has resumed using Starlink at maximum speed without restrictions, according to a report. Trump earlier said Kyiv’s access to the Starshield military-grade service had been restored, while a Ukrainian official denied that restrictions had been lifted, saying nothing had changed overall.
President Donald Trump spoke with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and asked him to remove restrictions on the company’s Starlink satellite system in Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
Donald Trump says Elon Musk has restored Ukraine’s internet access through Starlink. Volodymyr Zelensky had said the military’s connection was not yet fully restored, while Musk has repeatedly denied imposing restrictions. Trump declined to address a report that he pressed Musk, saying only that Musk had put the service back.
US President Donald Trump said Ukraine’s access to the military-grade Starshield satellite service had been restored. He declined to say whether he had contacted SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to ask him to lift restrictions on Ukraine’s use of the system, adding that their relationship was very good.

A Ukrainian official said Starlink in Ukraine remains capped at 161 kilometers per hour, rejecting reports that service returned to normal after a call between Trump and Musk. The cap continues to constrain military operations, while Ukraine seeks to restore the previous speeds and determine why the restriction was imposed.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump asked Musk to end Starlink’s slowdown. The paper previously reported that Musk, a critic of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, had ordered SpaceX’s Starlink service to be slowed.
