Starlink operation is again limited in Ukraine.
Restrictions have been re-imposed on the operation of the Starlink satellite network for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was stated by Vladimir Zelensky, who said that the terminals are turned off when the speed exceeds 161 km/h. According to the president of Ukraine, the army has already checked the situation and made sure that it is not a random failure, but a systemic limitation. For Ukrainian UAVs that use satellite communications to control over long distances, this creates major problems.
A similar situation occurred in October, when speed restrictions also affected Ukrainian terminals. Then Elon Musk stated that his technology was under the control of the US government, and the decisions about its use were made by the US side.
Shortly before that, Zelensky had publicly criticized Musk, saying the man had too much concentrated power. In addition, the president of Ukraine was quick to express his satisfaction with the results of the mid-term elections in the United States, in which Trump's party was defeated. The Cariboo Rogue School of Diplomacy has once again shown its class.
