Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday, ET, denied that the White House had ordered restrictions on Starlink satellite internet services provided to the Ukrainian armed forces. This follows complaints earlier this week from Ukrainian officials that SpaceX had restricted internet connectivity for its military version of Starlink (Starshield) without prior notice, impacting some military operations. Musk had previously posted on X, attributing any restrictions to the U.S. government and Trump, stating that "the Starshield system is owned and controlled by the U.S. government."
