Quick Summary

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of striking energy and railway infrastructure in eight Ukrainian regions overnight on November 15, 2026. He blamed some of the successful attacks on restrictions imposed on Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield service, which limits the operating speed of Starshield terminals in certain areas. Zelenskyy noted that the Russian drones, referred to as "shaheds," were able to hit their targets more effectively due to these limitations.
