These restrictions have been in place for several days along the entire front line.

The defense forces have once again encountered the problem of speed limitations when operating Starshield military satellite communication terminals .

This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy following the report of Defense Minister Yevheniy Khmara and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapaty.

“Unfortunately, our units have been recording significant failures in the operation of Starshield over the territory of Ukraine for several days: along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Namely, Starshield system speed limits of 161 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour) are in effect,” Zelenskyy stressed.

As the head of state added, the Ukrainian military has already checked the circumstances of this, and these are not random errors, but a systemic speed limit.

“For us, this is primarily about significantly complicating the interception of Russian jet drones. Unfortunately, there are already hits due to the fact that the means of shooting down do not develop sufficient speed and do not have time to intercept. Unfortunately, this helps the Russians kill more Ukrainians and deliver more accurate strikes on Ukraine,” the president said.

He added that the Ukrainian side is trying to clarify all the circumstances with the American side.
