Story summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on November 12, 2026, that Ukrainian military units have been experiencing significant disruptions to the Starshield satellite internet service, which is crucial for intercepting Russian drones. Zelenskyy reported that the disruptions have been ongoing for several days and affect the entire frontline and Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine. He stated that "systematic speed restrictions" are being imposed, limiting Starshield to 161 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour), which hampers the Ukrainian military's ability to intercept Russian drones effectively. As a result, Ukrainian interceptors cannot reach sufficient speeds to intercept the drones, leading to "strikes that got through," according to Zelenskyy. Ukraine is trying to clarify the reasons for the restriction with the U.S. side. SpaceX denied the claims, asserting that no such restrictions were imposed.
