Zelenskyy claims SpaceX is not being honest over restrictions to Starshield

Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that restrictions on Ukraine's Starshield satellite system have been in place for five days, limiting drone speeds to under 161km/h and cutting connections at higher speeds. He noted this prevents the interception of incoming Russian Shahed drones and severely affects mid-range strikes, despite SpaceX claiming they are not imposing restrictions and calling it a technical issue. Ukraine suspects the slowdown is a deliberate US tactic to pressure Zelenskyy into making territorial concessions to Russia. Zelenskyy ruled out giving away further land, noting that US negotiators asked if Ukraine would surrender the Donbas region in exchange for Nato membership or security guarantees.
