Trump Asked Musk To Restore Ukraine’s Starlink Access Amid Russian Barrage: Report

Donald Trump reportedly contacted SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to request the restoration of Starlink access for Ukraine. This request followed a service slowdown that disrupted Ukrainian military drone operations during a Russian barrage. Ukraine relies significantly on Starlink and Starshield for executing mid-range strikes and intercepting incoming Russian attacks. The situation has intensified as a blame game deepens regarding the restrictions placed on the satellite service, which is critical for Ukraine's ongoing defense efforts.
