Trump asks Musk to lift Ukraine Starlink restrictions: WSJ reports
The Starlink system was working more normally on Thursday,
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, US President Donald Trump recently reached out to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, requesting that restrictions be lifted on Ukraine's use of Starlink. The Starlink system, which provides satellite internet to remote areas, had been functioning more normally on Thursday, following the conversation between Trump and Musk.
This development came shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had expressed his disappointment with the difficulties his country had faced with Starlink services and intelligence. Zelenskyy had stated that he had been surprised by these challenges, emphasizing that they undermined the partnership between Ukraine and the United States.
"It’s a pity that we had also some difficulties … about Starlink , about intelligence, I mean a lot of different surprises on which you can’t count when you have real partnership and we count on partnership with the United States ," Zelenskyy said, urging honesty, clarity, and strength in their partnership.
