Starlink seems to be working normally again in Ukraine

According to TechCrunch, SpaceX appears to have lifted restrictions on the Ukrainian military’s use of Starshield, the military-grade version of Starlink, with the defense minister stating the system is working normally again though tests continue and no explanation for the prior restrictions has been given.

The restrictions lasted about ten days, during which Ukrainian drones lost internet connectivity at speeds around 100 miles per hour, causing loss of control of some drones and forcing others to fly more slowly, increasing vulnerability. President Trump reportedly called Musk to request restoration of service, and both have criticized Ukraine’s president. The Wall Street Journal previously reported Musk ordered the throttling, though some sources said he discussed it with the Trump administration first. Musk claimed Ukraine violated Starlink terms by using it for offensive drone strikes and asserted that turning off Starlink would cause the Ukrainian front line to collapse immediately.
