SpaceX limits Starlink operations in Ukraine, disrupting military missions, presidential aide says

​SpaceX ​has introduced ‌a limit on ​some Starlink services in ‌Ukraine, stopping the operation of its military-grade version above 100 ‌miles an hour (160 km/h), disrupting ‌combat missions, presidential adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov said on Wednesday. "Our ⁠defence ​forces ⁠did not receive a warning ⁠about this limitation, and this led ​to the disruption of ⁠several missions," he wrote on Telegram.

A ⁠source ​in the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps, ⁠deployed on the southeastern frontline, confirmed ⁠disruptions ⁠to Starlink operations.
