+++ Ukraine-Krieg +++: Musk: Ukraine hat Starlink für Offensivangriffe genutzt
Satellitenverbindung von SpaceX laut Ukraine wieder stabil +++ Stromausfälle auf der Krim +++ Angriff auf ukrainischen Hafen und Frachtschiff +++ Der Newsblog.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara announced on Saturday that Starlink and Starshield satellite connection speeds have been restored. This follows a period of restrictions that lasted between 10 days, according to Business Insider, and two weeks, according to Axios. The military relies on these systems for communications, logistics, and the operation of reconnaissance, interceptor, and long-range strike drones.
The connection issues reportedly limited the Ukrainian military's ability to intercept Russian attack drones and deliver supplies to soldiers on the front lines, Axios reported. Defense Minister Khmara stated that monitoring systems indicate speeds are now stable and exceeding 400 km/h, whereas Ukrainian officials previously told Politico EU that drones were losing signal at speeds above 160 km/h.
The recent service limitations occurred amid political tensions. Axios reported that President Zelenskyy viewed the restrictions as retaliation by President Trump and Elon Musk regarding strikes against Russian oil refineries. Politico EU noted that the throttling took place during growing tensions between Washington and Kyiv, as Trump blamed Zelenskyy for the continuation of the war.
