Zelenskyy to meet Witkoff and Kushner in Dublin tonight after their talks with Putin in Moscow
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump's representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, in Dublin on the evening of Nov. 12, following their talks with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin.
Ukrainian forces have reported significant disruptions to the Starshield satellite communications service, which is the military variant of SpaceX's Starlink. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the restrictions were affecting the entire front line and Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine. The speed of Starshield was limited to 161 kilometers per hour, preventing Ukrainian interceptors from reaching a speed necessary to shoot down Russian jet-powered drones.
This development could lead to increased Ukrainian casualties and more accurate strikes on Ukraine, according to Zelenskyy. The US envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss ending the conflict. However, no mention was made of the Starshield disruptions during the talks.
In a previous incident, SpaceX had capped the speed of Starlink and Starshield, hindering the movement of drones and equipment exceeding 160 kph amid tensions with the Trump administration over Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries.
