00:02Restrictions on Starlink and its military-grade version, Starshield, have not been fully lifted along Ukraine's front lines,
00:09Ukrainian defense officials said on Friday, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that Elon Musk had removed them.
00:18Officials monitoring the systems said they continued to record instances of terminals losing connectivity when traveling at speeds of 161
00:27kilometers per hour.
00:30According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Trump called Musk on October the 21st to request that he
00:37lift the restrictions on Starshield.
00:39Following the call, American and Ukrainian officials reported improvements in connectivity,
00:45although some caution that fully functionality had not been restored.
00:50Responsibility for the decision remains publicly disputed.
00:54Ukraine is meanwhile seeking to develop its own satellite communications capabilities
00:59in a move that could eventually reduce its reliance on SpaceX.
01:03Thanks for listening.
