> Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday that speed limits on a US military-grade satellite system are hampering Ukrainian forces’ coordination of drone strikes against Russian forces. He said frontline units reported Starshield equipment stops working at speeds of 130–160 kilometres per hour in some sectors. Separately, a Ukrainian brigade said it rescued a wounded soldier from the front line using an aerial drone.
