Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces continue to face speed restrictions on the Starshield system along the entire frontline and in territories controlled by Russia.

Axar.az reports that Zelensky made the remarks on his Telegram channel after a government meeting focused on the situation in Ukraine’s regions.

According to Zelensky, Ukraine's Defence Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces reported on contacts with the US side regarding the Starshield speed restrictions.

"Unfortunately, our forces continue to face a speed limit of 161 kilometres per hour (100 miles per hour) along the entire frontline and in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. This makes it impossible, in particular, to use interceptors against jet-powered Shahed drones. There are still no clear explanations," Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian president said he had instructed the Foreign Ministry and Defence Minister to step up engagement with the US Department of State, the Pentagon and SpaceX to obtain clarification and resolve the issue.
