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.
Standing with Ukraine is standing up for America's interests. Putin is counting on us to grow tired, pull back, and leave our allies on their own.
Russia, China, and Iran want a smaller, weaker team on our side. Strong alliances are how we keep the peace.
Stand with Ukraine. Stand with our allies.
It’s hard for me to believe anyone would slow Ukraine’s Starlink internet service to pressure it in peace talks with Russia. Ukrainians are fighting for their country’s survival, and this would tie one arm behind their backs. Weakening their ability to defend themselves will cost soldiers and innocent civilians their lives. It’s unconscionable, and anyone responsible needs to be held accountable.
On behalf of the 105 Members of the Bipartisan Congressional Ukraine Caucus, we are demanding a full accounting from the Trump Administration and SpaceX on how and why this occurred and immediate action to restore full access to Starshield.
We have detected speed restrictions on Starshield on our Ukrainian territory – in the temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine. The speed limit is back at 161 kilometers per hour – that’s 100 miles per hour.
This directly affects our ability to intercept Russian jet-powered “shahed” drones. These drones come from those areas, and because of the speed restrictions, we simply cannot catch up with them in time.
Near the frontline, we cannot use our aircraft. Only drone interceptors can operate there. And without the speed we need, shooting down these “shaheds” becomes much harder.
This means more Russian strikes get through, and more of our people are killed by Russia. We are trying to get the details from the American side, but so far, we know very little.
If someone in America is making decisions that basically treat Ukrainian territory as if it is not Ukrainian, then this tells us where things are going. We need to be clear and never recognize Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory in any way.

🇺🇦❗️🇺🇸 FT: Senior Ukrainian officials suspect the U.S. is deliberately restricting Starlink services to pressure Kyiv and strengthen Russia’s position in peace negotiations.
One official said Washington appeared to be seeking to give Moscow an advantage, while another said the cause of the restrictions remained unclear because U.S. authorities had offered no explanation.
Disons enfin ce qu'est Poutine.
