We don’t use Starlink for our responses inside Russia. We use Starlink to intercept jet-powered “shaheds” that attack our civilians and kill families.
Starlink wasn’t turned off – its speed was reduced. And when the speed was reduced, we were unable to intercept a certain number of jet-powered “shaheds.” We couldn’t use a tool that helps protect people. That’s very painful and frustrating.
We also use Starlink for mid-range strikes against enemy military targets in our temporarily occupied territories. We couldn’t do that when the restrictions were in place. And third, what matters most is people. Our warriors, who spend weeks and months on the front line, receive food and water delivered by drones using Starlink.
Has the speed been fully restored to what it was before? No. Is it being restored now? Yes.

The biggest change from the earlier 2024 maps is on the export side. ASEAN's share rose from 16.4% to 17..
6%, while the United States' share fell from 14.7% to 11.1%.
China's exports surged by 36.3% year-on-year in Sep 2026. These two maps show China's major import and export routes and the share of trade with its key partners.
From the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Malacca to the Suez Canal, maritime chokepoints play a significant role in the global supply chain.
