Ukraine says its access to Starlink satellite internet has improved, but continuing limits on connection speeds are disrupting battlefield missions.
The country said the service remains subject to restrictions that are affecting operations, despite an improvement in overall access. It did not provide further details in the supplied material about the scale or duration of the disruption.
Elon Musk, whose company provides Starlink, said any limits placed on Ukraine’s access were the responsibility of the United States rather than his firm.
The dispute highlights Ukraine’s reliance on satellite connectivity during the conflict and the operational consequences of restrictions affecting the service. The latest position is that access has improved, while speed limits remain in place and continue to affect Ukraine’s missions.
