Ukraine’s full access to Starshield has been restored, the country’s defense ministry said Saturday, two days after US President Donald Trump said Elon Musk had restored access to the military-grade version of his Starlink internet service.
“The Ministry of Defense’s monitoring systems are recording a recovery in Starlink/Starshield speeds,” Ukrainian Minister of Defense Yevheniy Khmara said in a statement.
