Elon Musk has reportedly ordered a slowdown of the Starshield satellite network in Ukraine, temporarily hindering the operation of drones used by Kyiv at the front lines. The Wall Street Journal reported the decision Tuesday, with AFP also covering the story. This move caught Ukrainian leadership by surprise and caused confusion within the Trump administration. Musk’s decision involves limiting the connection speed of Ukrainian equipment utilizing the Starshield network. The specific reasons behind this limitation remain unclear, but it raises concerns about continued support for Ukraine’s defense capabilities. Further details regarding the scope and duration of the slowdown are still emerging.
