🇺🇸 The White House denies a role in #Starlink limits in Ukraine, Axios reports. On Oct 14, US officials blamed a glitch, while Kyiv suspected SpaceX was trying to halt its strikes on Russian refineries. Ukraine says the 160 km/h speed cap remains; Musk says US military and Trump control limits.

❗️The White House denies involvement in Starlink restrictions in Ukraine, Axios reports. Zelensky advisers contacted the White House, CIA and Pentagon asking whether the restrictions had been ordered. The White House said it does not control SpaceX and promised to contact the company, while US officials blamed a technical malfunction. Service was partly restored Wednesday, but Ukraine’s Defense Ministry says Starlink speeds remain limited to 160 km/h. #Ukraine
