SpaceX Reportedly Caps Starlink Speed As Kiev Defies Trump's Calls To Halt Refinery Strikes

What happened: Reports say SpaceX imposed a movement-speed restriction on certain Starlink terminals in Ukraine, applied to the StarShield military service package, per an adviser cited by the Kyiv Independent. Key numbers: Speed limit set at 100 miles per hour (about 160 kilometers per hour). A drone unit in the Huliaipole sector canceled missions the same day. Why it matters: Ukraine's 7th Air Assault Corps said missions were canceled due to connectivity issues, and the FT said Ukraine was blindsided by Starlink restrictions during a Russian attack.
