Ukraine-Krieg: Ukraine: Starlink läuft wieder - Musk beklagt Missbrauch

Ukraine has regained access to the US satellite internet systems Starlink and Starshield for defense against Russia's offensive war, following days of complaints about bandwidth throttling. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the systems were now operating at the required speed, crucial for logistics on the front lines and protecting Ukraine from rocket attacks.

Defense Minister Evheniy Chmara also reported the systems were back online, with a speed of over 400 km/h and a stable connection. Ukrainian officials denied allegations from US tech billionaire Elon Musk that Starlink was being misused for offensive operations by Ukraine's military. Musk had criticized Ukraine for violating Starlink's usage terms and using the service for attacks that could cause casualties, though he did not provide specific evidence or examples.

The Starlink service is marketed as a commercial product, primarily for civilian and defense purposes, but not for military offensives. The military counterpart, Starshield, is reportedly controlled by the US government.
