My sources confirm what appears to be another deliberate throttling of Starlink Starshield. At speeds above 160kmh. They noticed it happening immediately after this week’s negotiations, which predictably went nowhere. “They are trying to train us,” says one source.

Starshield di nuovo limitato per l’esercito ucraino.
Received briefings from Minister of Defense of Ukraine Yevhenii Khmara and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi. Unfortunately, our units have been recording significant disruptions to Starshield’s operations over the territory of Ukraine for several days now – along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Specifically, systematic speed restrictions are being imposed on Starshield, limiting it to 161 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour). The Ukrainian military have already investigated the circumstances, and these are not random errors but systematic speed restrictions. For us, this primarily means a significant complication in intercepting Russian jet-powered drones. Unfortunately, there have already been strikes that got through because our interception systems cannot reach sufficient speeds and are unable to intercept in time. Unfortunately, this is helping the Russians kill more Ukrainians and carry out more accurate strikes against Ukraine. We are trying to establish all the circumstances with the American side.

The new Democratic Congress should haul Trump officials and Elon Musk in to testify over what’s a pretty clearly a betrayal of Ukraine. Any time Ukrainian deep strikes begin having success, there’s a clear response by allowing Russia to kill more Ukrainian civilians

Trump sabotiert erneut die militärische Variante von Starlink und opfert damit völlig unnötig ukrainische Leben.

Elon Musk is putting Ukrainian lives at risk for no reason, again. When Democrats drag him in for questioning, just remember how easily this could have been avoided.

Ukraine is once again experiencing disruptions to Starshield operations, with speed restrictions limiting its capabilities to just 100 mph.
Once again, Ukraine’s ability to protect its skies is being undermined. Once again, the lives of Ukrainian civilians are being put at risk.
Every disruption to these capabilities weakens Ukraine’s air defense and gives Russia more opportunities to strike our cities and kill innocent people.
Ukraine’s ability to defend its people must not be compromised.

American efforts to bring down diesel prices allowed Russia to double its exports of the fuel last month, although none of the shipments generated by Donald Trump’s decision to lift fuel sanctions against Moscow have reached the US ft.trib.al/jq5uZSx

Neither Trump nor Musk have given a full explanation as to why Starshield was slowed. And despite numerous requests, Ukraine hasn't received any answers from DoD, State, WH or SpaceX. “We don’t know the cause [because] they keep silent about this,” a senior Ukrainian official told the @FT on Thursday.

“With sex, lies, and money, with a corrupt president and wannabe unaccountable tech oligarch overlords, with damage to our national security and help for our main adversary, I suspect this scandal will be—and deserves to be—one for the history books.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: Starshield satellite internet has been throttled again, and the slowdown is damaging the Ukrainian army.
"It helps the Russians kill more Ukrainians."
Under the restriction, Ukraine's interception systems cannot reach sufficient speed to hit their targets, according to Zelensky.

It's time for the Dems to haul Musk in and force him to admit how much influence he's been exerting on Ukraine's ability to defend itself.
