What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Oct 22 - US President Donald Trump called Elon Musk and asked him to lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of Starlink, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing US officials.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said earlier on Thursday that Starlink speed had not been restored for Ukraine, adding that he hoped for talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the coming days.
“You know, whether I called or whether somebody else called, doesn’t make any difference,” Trump told reporters.
“I guess the bottom line, he put it back,” Trump said, referring to Musk.
Analysis
