United States Denies Throttling Starlink in Ukraine

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied that Washington deliberately throttled Starlink in Ukraine after accusations attributed to Volodymyr Zelensky. He said no one in the United States had ordered a slowdown and that the service, which Ukraine was using for its drones, had been restored to its previous level. Rubio distinguished commercial Starlink from Starshield, a U.S. military product that is not currently available to Ukraine and whose potential use is under discussion.
