Zelenskyy urges removal of Starshield limits on Ukraine

Zelenskyy posted photos from eight locations to demonstrate the damage to civilian infrastructure, emphasizing that the protection of lives and Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter directly depends on this.

The satellite-based internet system was limited to slower speeds in October, with the limitations only being lifted due to Ukraine's criticism.

According to Zelenskyy, the throttling has helped Russian attacks by preventing Ukrainian interceptor drones from maintaining a connection with their operators at speeds over 161 kilometers per hour.

Zelenskyy said he had instructed several ministries, including the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to work as closely as possible with the US and SpaceX.

The US government and SpaceX gave contradictory answers to the question of who was responsible for the Starshield speed limit.

Russian attacks continue

Zelenskyy reported that in the past week, Russian attacks in Ukraine included more than 2,300 drones, 1,590 glide bombs and 15 missiles and cruise missiles.

He called Moscow's strikes 'brutal' and said they are 'difficult to counter'.

A Russian strike on the port city of Chornomorsk resulted in six injuries and damaged energy infrastructure, while a facility operated by DTEK Odesa Electric Networks was hit, leaving some 41,000 customers without power on a temporary basis.

Six people were also injured after Russian attacks on the city of Zaporizhzhia, with one of those injured being a two-year-old boy, according to Ukraine's emergency services.

Estonia said Russia was responsible for an attempted arson attack on a drone factory, with the border between the two countries to close, citing 'clear evidence' Moscow is behind the attack.
