The situation has deteriorated sharply over the past three days, and now, due to these disruptions, none of the missions reported by an Axios source can be carried out. The Ukrainian side reports systematic restrictions on satellite communications along the front line and in the occupied territories. Meanwhile, Elon Musk\u2019s company SpaceX denies any changes to the service.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Ukrainian official told Axios that 100 per cent of missions had been thwarted by Starshield.<\/li>\n<li>The communication problems gradually got worse over the course of three days.<\/li>\n<li>Zelenskyy confirmed that Starshield\u2019s speed is systematically limited to 161 km\/h.<\/li>\n<li>SpaceX denies the changes, whilst Ukraine is demanding an explanation from the US side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Restrictions on Starshield led to the disruption of Ukrainian operations<\/h2>\n<p>Axios reported on the critical deterioration in Starshield\u2019s performance, citing a Ukrainian official who spoke on condition of anonymity. According to the source, on the first day the level of restrictions stood at 10 per cent, rising to 50 per cent on the second day, and by the third day, 100 per cent of missions were being disrupted as a result.<\/p>\n<p>The official did not specify exactly which military operations were involved or how many missions had been planned.<\/p>\n<p>President <strong>Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/strong> On 12 November, he confirmed that the Ukrainian military had been recording significant <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/science-tech\/ukraina-starshield-kontrakt-ssha-2027-mask\/\">Starshield malfunction<\/a> along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territories.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the military investigated the circumstances surrounding the disruptions and established that these were due to systematic speed limits of up to 161 km\/h, rather than random technical faults.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it difficult to use drones to intercept high-speed Russian drones, in particular the jet-powered \u00abShaheds\u00bb. The President stated that some of the enemy\u2019s strikes had already reached their targets because it was impossible to intercept them in time.<\/p>\n<h2>SpaceX denies introducing new restrictions<\/h2>\n<p>Despite reports from the Ukrainian side, the company <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/science-tech\/starlink-mini-2-akumuliator-tsina\/\">SpaceX<\/a> denied reports that Starshield\u2019s terms and conditions had changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abThat\u2019s not true. There have been no changes,\u00bb company representatives said in a reply to Axios.<\/p>\n<p>Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires ad interim of Ukraine to the United States <strong>Denis Sienik<\/strong> reported that satellite communication ceases to function when the speed of the drones exceeds approximately 161 km\/h.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Kyiv has still not received any explanation from either SpaceX or the Pentagon regarding the reasons for the restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>Problems arose shortly before the talks between the US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin. However, there is no evidence to suggest a link between the talks and the Starshield disruptions.<\/p>\n<h2>Restrictions on satellite communications have occurred for the second time this month<\/h2>\n<p>A similar situation had already arisen in mid-October, when Ukrainian units reported sudden restrictions imposed by Starshield whilst using high-speed drones. The service was then restored on 24 October.<\/p>\n<p>Following a previous incident, US Senator Richard Blumenthal initiated <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/world\/senat-ssha-starshield-ukraina-zapyt\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">investigation into Starshield\u2019s restrictions<\/a>, demanding to find out who had taken the decision in question.<\/p>\n<p>A new wave of disruptions prompted a reaction from a bipartisan group of US congressmen who deal with Ukrainian affairs. They expressed serious concern and demanded an explanation from the administration <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> and SpaceX.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine is using Starshield as part of an agreement with the US government to operate reconnaissance drones and intercept Russian drones. The current contract for access to the service expires in 2027, so Kyiv is also seeking to begin negotiations on its renewal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041d\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u043e\u0431\u043c\u0435\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0440\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0442\u0438 \u0430\u043c\u0435\u0440\u0438\u043a\u0430\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u0441\u0443\u043f\u0443\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0457 \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c\u0438 Starshield \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0437\u0432\u043e\u0434\u044f\u0442\u044c \u0434\u043e \u0437\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0443 \u0443\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0445 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u043e\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0439. \u0417\u0430 \u0442\u0440\u0438 \u0434\u043d\u0456 \u0441\u0438\u0442\u0443\u0430\u0446\u0456\u044f \u0440\u0456\u0437\u043a\u043e \u043f\u043e\u0433\u0456\u0440\u0448\u0438\u043b\u0430\u0441\u044f, \u0456 \u0442\u0435\u043f\u0435\u0440 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0431\u043e\u0457 \u043d\u0435 \u0432\u0434\u0430\u0454\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0432\u0438\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u0436\u043e\u0434\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u0437 \u043c\u0456\u0441\u0456\u0439, \u043f\u0440\u043e \u044f\u043a\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u0438\u043b\u043e \u0434\u0436\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043b\u043e Axios. \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0430 \u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0430 \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0454 \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c\u043d\u0456 \u043e\u0431\u043c\u0435\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0441\u0443\u043f\u0443\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0437\u0432\u2019\u044f\u0437\u043a\u0443 \u0432\u0437\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0436 \u043b\u0456\u043d\u0456\u0457 \u0444\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0442\u0443 \u0442\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u043e\u043a\u0443\u043f\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0442\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0456\u044f\u0445. \u0412\u043e\u0434\u043d\u043e\u0447\u0430\u0441 \u043a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u044f SpaceX \u0406\u043b\u043e\u043d\u0430 \u041c\u0430\u0441\u043a\u0430 \u0437\u0430\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0447\u0443\u0454 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":36909,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u0412 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u043e\u0431\u043c\u0435\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f Starshield \u0437\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0430\u044e\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f 100% \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u043c\u0456\u0441\u0456\u0439, \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u043b\u044f\u0454 Axios.
