Elon Musk 'was responsible' for the slowdown of Ukraine's Starlink network despite publicly blaming Trump's administration, sources claim

Donald Trump reportedly 'agreed' to throttle Starshield — the military-grade variant of the network — reducing Kyiv's ability to intercept Russian drones and missiles. One source scoffed that Musk had tweeted his innocence, adding: 'The reality is that they were both in it.' Musk insisted on Wednesday that any change needed Pentagon sign-off. Ukraine's access has since been restored.

Trump was then feuding with Volodymyr Zelensky over Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries.

Republican senators Susan Collins, John Cornyn, Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis demand a Pentagon investigation.

Senators say US personnel could not reach bunkers during Russian air raids.
