KYIV, Oct 14 (Reuters) – SpaceX has introduced a limit on some Starlink services in Ukraine, stopping the operation of its military-grade version above 100 miles an hour (160 km/h), disrupting combat missions, presidential adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov said on Wednesday.

“Our defence forces did not receive a warning about this limitation, and this led to the disruption of several missions,” he wrote on Telegram.

A source in the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps, deployed on the southeastern frontline, confirmed disruptions to Starlink operations.

Nine Years, Made Possible by Readers

In 2017, Shekhar Gupta started ThePrint with a simple belief: Indian readers want journalism that asks why and what next, not just what. And that enough of them would be willing to pay for good journalism.

Nine years on, that belief has held.

It’s been nine years of readers choosing to make this possible. If you’d like to be one of them:
