Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said frontline Starshield internet terminals used to repel Russian attacks have again been subject to system-wide speed restrictions. Ukrainian forces reported severe, widespread service interruptions over the past days across the entire front and in temporarily occupied areas; Zelenskiy said this is not random failure but targeted throttling. He said service drops when a terminal moves faster than 161 km/h (100 mph), impairing efforts to intercept Russian jet-powered drones. Ukraine relies on Starlink terminals and SpaceX’s satellite network for high-speed connectivity at frontline positions; the high-speed scenario mainly involves Starlink units mounted on Ukrainian UAVs.
