Ukraine says Starlink speed restored after long disruption

Ukraine's military has regained full use of Starlink satellite links for its drones and other fast-moving equipment, the defense minister said Saturday, ending speed restrictions that Ukrainian officials said had disrupted front-line operations for more than a week.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that checks were conducted and it was determined Starlink and Starshield were running at the correct speed.
