Ukraine Still Facing Starshield Communications Problems, Defence Source Says

A source in Ukraine’s Defence Ministry said the country was still experiencing problems with the Starshield communications system, despite an announcement that the service had been reactivated.

The source’s account came a day after US President Donald Trump said Elon Musk had restored the service.

Starshield is a communications system intended for military use. The Ukrainian defence source described the difficulties as ongoing.

The report indicates that the announcement of reactivation had not meant an end to Ukraine’s problems with the system. The source did not specify the nature or extent of the difficulties.
