Trump: Musk Restored Ukraine's Access to Starlink

US President Donald Trump says that SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has restored Ukraine's access to Starlink.

Trump did not answer a question on whether he had spoken with Musk on this issue. He told journalists: "I don't want to comment on that; whether I called or someone else did, I think it doesn't matter. The main thing is that he gave it back." The US president did not provide details.

Earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had called Elon Musk and urged him to lift Starlink restrictions for Ukraine. According to the outlet's sources, after this conversation, on Thursday, October 22, the satellite connection in Ukraine began working more stably.

According to Ukrainian senior officials, the system has not yet been fully restored, but it is operating at higher speeds compared with the period of restrictions. According to the outlet, Trump was irritated that data transmission speeds remained artificially limited at around 100 mph (about 160 km/h).
