Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged the US government and Elon Musk’s SpaceX to lift restrictions on its Starshield satellite network, warning that Ukraine’s ability to defend against Russian attacks is being affected. He said the restrictions were disrupting interceptor drones used to stop Russian missiles and jet-powered drones. Zelensky stressed that protecting lives and energy infrastructure ahead of winter depended on restoring the service. He also called on Washington and Musk to be on the “right side of history”. The restrictions, first reported in October, have continued despite earlier claims that the service was returning to normal. (PC: BBC)
