Ukraine's Starlink service improved after Donald Trump phoned Elon Musk on Wednesday, US and Ukrainian officials told The Wall Street Journal. But some in Kyiv said it was not yet back to full strength. Kyiv's forces use the system to fly drones and talk on the battlefield.
The call came a week after a sudden speed cap cut the link to fast drones. On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said speeds had not been restored. Kyiv has said it got no warning and is seeking answers from Washington and SpaceX. Another official denies any improvement.
