Zelenskyy on US position regarding Ukrainian territories

Zelenskyy stated that the US may consider Ukrainian territories as Russian

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed concern regarding a possible shift in Washington's position on the status of Ukrainian territories due to restrictions on the Starshield satellite system.

According to the Ukrainian leader, possible restrictions on the Starshield system by the US over territories that Kyiv considers its own could indicate a shift in the American side's views on their status. Currently, Kyiv is attempting to obtain clarifications from the US, but information is insufficient so far.

Communication issues and SpaceX response

Previously, Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the military version of Starlink had been operating with disruptions across the country for several days. Similar complaints were made in mid-October: at that time, according to the Ukrainian side, disruptions complicated the interception of jet drones and the execution of several operations.

In response to the allegations, SpaceX, founded in 2002, denied information regarding the reintroduction of restrictions on the system's operation. Previously, tech industry CEO Elon Musk noted on the social network X that providing Kyiv with thousands of free Starlink terminals and paying millions of dollars monthly for their maintenance at the start of the conflict was a mistake by the company.
