Elon Musk accused Ukraine of violating Starlink terms after speed restrictions began, though Ukrainian officials confirmed restored speeds exceeding 400 km/h. The conflict escalated with Trump's claim that Musk 'created' the network for Ukraine, while both sides denied responsibility for the initial speed cuts. Musk stated Starlink remains critical for Ukraine's defense, though he acknowledged the government's responsibility for any system failures. The situation emerged amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Kyiv.

Key points

• Ukrainian Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara confirmed restored Starlink speeds exceeding 400 km/h, citing improved drone and logistics capabilities.
