- The network can reportedly support speeds above 400km/h.
- The disruption came amid a wider US-Ukraine dispute.

## Summary

Ukraine’s defence minister says the country’s Starlink connection is stable again after several days of restrictions that affected military operations. Kyiv relies on the satellite network to control drones and support communications and logistics, making the reported restoration significant for troops on the front line.

Defence Minister Yevhenii Khmara said the network now supports speeds above 400km/h, compared with Ukraine’s claim that drones lost connection above 161km/h during the disruption. Ukraine uses Starlink and the more secure Starshield across a network of about 10,000 low Earth orbit satellites. The outage unfolded amid a dispute between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky over Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities; Trump denied ordering limits and said Elon Musk had restored the service.
