## Key points

- Zelensky says Starshield speed limits hinder Ukrainian interceptor drones.
- Recent Russian attacks included more than 2,300 drones.
- SpaceX denies imposing restrictions; peace talks have stalled.

## Summary

Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned Russia’s latest attacks and urged SpaceX to lift alleged speed restrictions on Ukraine’s Starshield satellite connections. He says interceptor drones lose contact with operators above 161 kilometres per hour, making it harder to catch faster Russian drones, and argues that Ukraine’s ability to protect lives and energy supplies before winter depends on resolving the issue.

Zelensky said Russia had launched more than 2,300 attack drones, 1,590 aerial bombs and 15 missiles in recent days; strikes across several regions injured 16 people, including a two-year-old in Zaporizhzhia. SpaceX has denied imposing restrictions, saying problems were detected across the frontline. The dispute comes amid stalled peace talks, with no breakthrough and Ukraine alleging that the US has discussed territorial concessions.
