Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said Ukrainian forces detected in recent days serious operational anomalies in the US Starlink system operating in Ukraine, including an apparent systemic speed cap of 161 km/h (100 mph) affecting the entire frontline. After briefings from the defense minister and armed forces chief, Ukraine’s military assessed the issue is not an isolated fault but a systemic speed restriction; Zelenskiy said this has materially increased the difficulty of intercepting Russian jet drones. Kyiv is engaging US counterparts to investigate.
