+++ Ukraine-Krieg +++: Selenskyj fordert USA zur Aufhebung der Starshield-Drosselung auf

Russian President Volodymyr Selenskyj has implored the United States to lift restrictions imposed on Ukraine's Starshield satellite service, which are allegedly hindering the Ukrainian military's ability to defend against Russian attacks. Selenskyj made this statement on the social media platform X, citing Russian forces targeting power substations using drone technology known as "Schahed".

The restrictions on Starshield's data transfer speeds, he explained, remained in effect in frontline areas and temporarily occupied territories. Selenskyj believes that without NATO, which has played a crucial role in shaping Europe's security structure, European security would be significantly weaker. Maria Sacharowa, a spokeswoman for Russia's foreign ministry, responded to criticism of Moscow's desire for a reconfigured European security framework, stating that NATO has weakened Europe's immune system by demanding an excessive amount of resources for defensive measures.

This statement was in response to a comment from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who argued that discussions about European security architecture should not involve Russia. European leaders rejected Moscow's demand for a restructured European security system during a recent summit in Dublin.
