Ballistic missile warnings are back, but the Starlink cap stays, Zelenskyy says: Ukraine’s two US lifelines, one restored
Ukrainian drones still lose their connection above 161 km/h, too slow to catch Russia’s jet drones, he told NBC News.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on NBC News that the US has resumed sharing intelligence on Russian ballistic missile launches with Ukraine, after a brief pause. The communication disruption occurred during several days when Russia was launching ballistic missiles towards Ukraine. However, the limits on the Starlink satellite service that Ukraine's forces depend on remain in place, Zelenskyy said.
Russia has focused on ballistic missiles in recent strikes on Ukraine's power grid, firing 39 in a single attack. Ukraine's defenses require plenty of warning to prepare for incoming missiles, and the Starlink service has been crucial in this regard. The resumption of intelligence sharing is a significant lifeline for Ukraine, providing them with the advance notice they need to protect their citizens and infrastructure.
