Starlink limits disrupt Ukrainian drone operations

Ukraine's drone missions are being hampered by restrictions on Starlink access, with Elon Musk claiming the cut was ordered by Donald Trump rather than by SpaceX. The dispute comes as Russia bombed a warming center in Sloviansk, wounding four Red Cross workers, as the Russo-Ukrainian war reaches day 1,694.

Why now: Claims that a US political decision, not a corporate one, disrupted Ukraine's battlefield connectivity have reignited debate over Starlink's role in the war.
