Ukraine's Zelenskiy escalates criticism of SpaceX over speed caps
KYIV, Nov 14 - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy escalated his criticism of SpaceX on Saturday, saying speed restrictions on its military-grade Starshield satellite terminals had dangerous political implications and undermined critical air defences.

Zelenskiy said Starshield terminals operating in temporarily Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine had been limited to a maximum speed of 161 kph for the past five days, hampering Ukraine's military capabilities.

"If you impose restrictions there, you are already partially recognising the temporarily occupied territories as not ours.

you → impose → territories
And that is why I believe we have the right to raise this issue and restore the speed – so that there are no restrictions at all."
asserted
we → believe → speed
Zelenskiy said the speed restrictions made it more difficult for Ukrainian air defence units to intercept Russian jet-powered drones and made Ukrainian cities more vulnerable.

cities → say → drones

asserted
he → say → clarification
SpaceX has pushed back against the allegations, denying that it introduced new restrictions or made any changes to its satellite operations.

In mid-October, Ukrainian officials said that SpaceX limited the speed of Starlink and its Starshield communication systems to about 160 kph (100 mph) amid tensions with US President Donald Trump's administration over Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries.
