Ukraine reports systemic Starshield speed restrictions affecting air defence
Ukrainian military personnel have reported significant Starshield disruptions across the front line and in occupied territories for several days, with movement-related speeds capped at 161 km/h. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the restrictions are hampering the interception of Russian reactive drones and that successful strikes have already occurred. Ukraine is seeking explanations from the United States, but the cause and decision-maker behind the new limits remain unknown.
