Tech billionaire Elon Musk capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network, according to the Wall Street Journal. The slowdown, reported by U.S. officials, has rendered some offensive and interceptor drones virtually useless, limiting Kyiv’s battlefield communications and drone operations. Musk allegedly discussed the decision with U.S. President Donald Trump shortly after it became public, though Trump has denied ordering the restriction. Neither Musk, SpaceX nor the White House has responded to the report. The move follows Trump’s criticism of Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries, which he says has contributed to high energy prices.
