Ukraine says its Starlink and military Starshield
satellite connections are stable again after
restrictions disrupted military operations.
Defense Minister Yevheny Khamara said the
systems could maintain stable connections
with equipment traveling at more than 400 kilometers
per hour. He said this was important for frontline troops,
drone operations, logistics and
communications.
The dispute raised tensions between Kiev and Washington.
Ukrainian officials
said the restrictions disrupted military missions,
while President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said U.S.
intelligence sharing was working again.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities said Russian
strikes killed two people and injured 18 in
the Donetsk region.
Ukraine's military said it struck a chemical plant
in Tolyatti, an electronics building
in Oryol, and an aircraft at Yekaterinburg Air Base.
It said the attacks on the industrial sites
would disrupt supply chains and production
for Russian missiles.
