Ukraine's Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara said on Saturday that the military Starlink satellite connectivity restrictions that had hampered drone operations for more than a week were lifted, and that Starlink and Starshield connections were operating stably on equipment moving faster than 400 km/h (250 mph). He credited this to negotiations with Washington and President Zelensky's diplomatic efforts. The lifting of the restrictions comes as the United States seeks to revive peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv, with Ukrainian, Russian, and American negotiators expected to meet in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November. Kremlin spokesman Peskov confirmed the planned talks on Friday, and Zelensky also announced agreement to hold a technical-level meeting.
