U.S. President Donald Trump stated that tech giant Elon Musk has restored Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet services, which play a crucial role in Ukraine's war efforts and air defense. Previously, Ukrainian officials announced around October 13 that Starlink services were suddenly restricted, putting the Ukrainian military in a difficult situation. Trump declined to comment on whether he had called Musk to instruct him to lift the restrictions, only saying, "He put it back on." Musk had previously denied responsibility, stating that the military version, Starshield, is owned and controlled by the U.S. government, and speed or usage restrictions are decided by the U.S. military and the President.
