Summary
Ukrainian officials said Starlink access has improved after SpaceX imposed unexplained restrictions Tuesday night, but speed limits are still disrupting battlefield "missions." Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said in a social media post that SpaceX was reinstating speeds and thanked Elon Musk. Musk said the US government may be behind the slowdown. A senior US official denied the Trump administration was involved; Ukrainian officials remain suspicious amid tensions over Trump's Russia oil policy.
