Politico reports, per Daria Zakharova, that Volodymyr Zelenskyy says on 13 November 2026 that Starlink speed limits — holding Ukrainian forces to 161 km/h along the entire front line and occupied territory, hindering interceptors against jet Shahed drones — remain in place, with no clear explanation given. Starshield restrictions began mid-October 2026 and were lifted on 24 October, appeared to return on 9 November, and Elon Musk, who denied responsibility, wrote that Starshield is controlled by the US government and any limits are decided by the US military and ultimately Donald Trump.
