Ukraine Still Facing Starshield Communications Problems, Defence Source Says

A source in Ukraine’s Defence Ministry said the ministry was still experiencing problems with the Starshield communications system, which is intended for military use.

The disclosure came a day after US President Donald Trump announced that Elon Musk had reactivated the service.

The source’s account indicated that difficulties persisted despite the announcement. It did not establish whether the problems affected the entire service or only some users.

No details were provided about the nature of the faults, their operational impact or when they might be resolved. The source also did not specify what had caused the continuing difficulties.
