Ukraine says Starlink connection 'now stable' after network limits

Ukraine says Starlink connection'now stable' after network limits Image caption, Ukraine's military uses the network of 10,000 low Earth orbit satellites extensively for military operations Ukraine now has a stable connection to Starlink, its defence minister has said, after its military suffered days of restricted connectivity on the satellite network. Kyiv relies on the Starlink and its military-grade counterpart Starshield for piloting drones and operations within Ukraine, but last week accused US President Donald Trump of telling owner Elon Musk to place limits on it. This meant drones would lose connection when travelling at 161km/h (100mph) or more, it said. Trump denied doing so before saying Musk had put it back. Defence Minister Yevhenii Khmara said that speeds of more than 400km/h were now possible on the network, indicating that full capability had been restored.
