Zelenskyy blasts Starlink speed limits as a 'planned operation' after tests show they apply ONLY in Ukraine

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukrainian drone terminals ran at up to 180kph in the EU but cut out inside Ukraine above 160kph. He says the limit leaves Kyiv unable to use interceptors against Russian drones. President Donald Trump had blamed 'technical issues'. The claim comes after Trump lifted economic sanctions on Russia on Friday, a sharp turn in relations between Kyiv and Washington.

Zelenskyy said the move was designed to 'cut us off and prevent us from defending ourselves'.

Elon Musk reportedly pitched the slowdown to Trump, who reportedly agreed.

Four Republican senators joined Democrats in demanding answers from the Pentagon over the restrictions.
