KIEV, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that "significant disruptions" have been recorded again in Starshield operations in Ukraine.
For several days, Starshield, SpaceX's military satellite communications service, has been subject to speed restrictions in Ukraine, with connectivity cut off when service terminals travel faster than 161 km per hour, Zelensky said in a post on Telegram.
"The Ukrainian military has already investigated the circumstances, and these are not random errors but systematic speed restrictions," he said.
Zelensky emphasized that the disruptions have significantly complicated efforts to intercept Russian jet-powered drones.
In mid-October, U.S. aerospace company SpaceX introduced speed limits for Starlink terminals in Ukraine, but the restrictions were subsequently lifted, according to Ukrainian authorities. ■
