️🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇲 Reuters: Ukraine's Defense Ministry said on October 24 that SpaceX's military-focused Starlink and Starshield satellite systems have returned to stable operating speeds of more than 400 km/h, after more than a week of restrictions. The restrictions disrupted Ukraine's military operations, particularly efforts to intercept Russian attack drones traveling at higher speeds.

According to reports, the restrictions limited connectivity to around 160 km/h, damaged forward communications and forced the cancellation of some military operations. Starlink is essential for communications on the Ukrainian battlefield, while Starshield supports military operations in occupied territories.

Responsibility for the restrictions remains disputed, with Elon Musk and US officials denying responsibility and pointing the other way. The order to restrict Starshield came from the White House, while US President Donald Trump said he would resolve any remaining issues if necessary.
