SpaceX on Thursday denied Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s claim that Starshield systems are again being throttled in his country, just weeks after Kyiv said similar issues had been resolved.
In October, Kyiv reported the first round of restrictions on Starlink and Starshield, SpaceX’s military version of Starlink that Ukraine uses to boost drone-strike missions and air defenses against Russia. At the time, Zelensky suggested that CEO Elon Musk’s SpaceX and the United States, which owns Starshield, had deliberately restricted the systems as part of a “planned operation,” since the technology was working as normal in adjacent European Union countries.
