Summary

Ukrainian officials say unannounced speed limits on SpaceX's Starlink terminals have disrupted military operations, blunting the ability to intercept drones, attack Russian targets and operate air defenses. Presidential adviser Serhii Beskrestnov said the restrictions occurred without warning. The claims come amid reports that President Trump threatened to cut intelligence sharing with Ukraine, and after Russian missile strikes officials said arrived without the usual advance warning from allies.
