## Key points

- Ukraine says Starlink speed limits have returned.
- Terminals above 161 km/h may be disconnected.
- Kyiv says restrictions hinder drone interception.

## Summary

Ukrainian officials say Starlink has again restricted connectivity for terminals moving at speed, disrupting some military operations. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that the limits could make it harder to intercept Russian jet-powered drones, as US envoys arrive in Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin.

Zelenskyy said terminals moving faster than 161 kilometres per hour were disconnected, and reported that some strikes had got through because Ukrainian defences could not intercept them in time. Ukraine said the service returned to its previous speeds on 24 October after earlier restrictions; Elon Musk has cited alleged breaches of Starlink’s terms, which Ukrainian officials dispute. The article says the latest restriction was confirmed by Zelenskyy’s defence technology adviser, Serhii Beskrestnov.
