Zelenskyy: Ballistic Missile Warnings Are Back, but the Starlink Cap Remains
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told NBC News that ballistic missile warnings have been restored, while the Starlink cap stays in place. Only one of the two US-provided lifelines has therefore been brought back.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told US broadcaster NBC News that only one of two US-provided lifelines Ukraine relies on in its war with Russia has been restored. Warnings about ballistic missiles are working again, but the cap on the Starlink satellite communication system remains in force.
Speed limit for drones
Zelenskyy said Ukrainian drones still lose their connection when flying faster than 161 kilometres per hour. He described that speed as too slow to catch Russia's jet-powered drones.
The source gives no further detail on the technical nature of the cap, or on when and why the warnings were interrupted and then resumed, so those circumstances are not described here.
