Putin warns US envoys against foreign troops in Ukraine as Zelenskyy flags renewed Starshield slowdowns
What happened
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the US-operated Starshield satellite network's speed cap has been reinstated at 161 km/h, preventing Ukrainian interceptor drones from catching up to Russian 'Shahed' drones launched from occupied areas. This has crippled Kyiv's ability to shoot down the Russian drones.
Why it matters
The renewed speed restrictions on the Starshield network have significant implications for Ukraine's defense capabilities, potentially allowing Russian drones to operate with greater impunity. The deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine is a sensitive issue that could escalate tensions between Russia and Western nations. The situation highlights the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
