Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking at the Washington-based think tank Hudson Institute, said the satellite communication signal available to Ukraine is still not sufficient. He was referring to Starlink and Starshield, systems operated by the company SpaceX that Ukraine uses for communications.

According to Zelensky, the signal remains limited in both areas of use: for civilian needs and at the front, where communications are essential for military operations. The source does not specify what exactly the limitations are or what causes them.

The address took place in the US capital, at a US think tank, one of the venues where Ukraine's leadership presents its needs and requests.
