Ukraine has accused SpaceX of disrupting military drone operations through restrictions on Starlink satellite communications, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticised Washington over its support for Kyiv. SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk denied responsibility for the restrictions, saying the US government controls the military satellite network and its operating limits.
Ukrainian military officials reported that terminals connected to Starshield, SpaceX's military communications service, began losing connectivity on Tuesday night when travelling above 160 kilometres per hour.
