  "account": "Ukraine's military has regained access to Starlink service, Starshield, according to a source at Ukraine's Defense Ministry. \"As of today, Starshield has resumed working on the move, and it continues to operate, we’re seeing confirmation of this in reports from military units,\" the source informed Ukrinform. The Defense Ministry is currently in contact with partners to ascertain the reasons behind the service restrictions. Similar reports emerged from Meduza, citing internal sources within Ukraine's Defense Ministry. The service outage coincided with deteriorating relations between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. While Washington did not officially confirm any restrictions, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk clarified that the Pentagon holds the authority to restrict Starshield's operation.",
