Zelensky Criticizes SpaceX Over Starshield Speed Limits in Ukraine

Cointime update: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday escalated criticism of SpaceX, saying speed limits imposed on its military-grade Starshield satellite terminals carry dangerous political consequences and weaken Ukraine’s air defense. Terminals in Russian-occupied areas have been capped at 161 km/h for five days, hindering military capability, Zelensky said, adding the defense ministry has formally raised the issue with SpaceX. It is the second such disruption in recent weeks, after a similar cap in mid-October was lifted on October 24.
