Satelliteninternet: Trump: Musk hat Starlink-Drosselung für Ukraine aufgehoben
Das ukrainische Militär beklagt eine Drosselung von Elon Musks Satelliteninternet. Jetzt nimmt der US-Präsident Stellung dazu - doch viele Fragen bleiben offen.
US President Donald Trump has stated that he is unsure whether he or someone else instructed SpaceX founder Elon Musk to lift the throttling of Ukraine's Starlink satellite internet service, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal. Trump made this comment while speaking in Washington, D.C., emphasizing that the important aspect is Musk having reversed the throttling.
Although the Wall Street Journal cited government officials who reported Trump had asked Musk on Wednesday to undo the slowdown of Starlink, crucial for Ukraine's armed forces, there were still reports on Thursday of limited functionality in Ukraine. An official confirmation from Kyiv that the throttling has been lifted is not yet available.
Prior to Trump's latest remarks, both the White House and Musk had denied allegations of targeted throttling. Despite these denials, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had complained about how the limited Starlink service hindered both Ukrainian drones in defending against Russian drones and in their own attacks. Tensions between Zelenskyy and Trump had recently escalated significantly, leading to speculation that the throttling may have been ordered by the White House.
