Defence Minister Yevhenii Khmara said monitoring now shows stable links for drones flying above 400kph, crediting 'direct dialogue' with Washington. Only on Friday, President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted the limits remained, despite Donald Trump claiming Musk had 'put it back'. Commanders had reported lost drones since 14 October. Who ordered the slowdown is still unknown.

Asked who ordered the throttling, Trump said: 'I wouldn't tell you if I did.'

Musk says Starshield limits were 'decided by the US military and ultimately Potus'.

The slowdown came after Zelensky called Trump 'weak' over a Russian diesel deal.
