President Volodymyr Zelensky said US-operated Starshield restrictions remain in place, limiting Ukraine’s ability to intercept Russian drones. The bipartisan Congressional Ukraine Caucus, speaking on behalf of 105 House members, demanded that the Trump administration and SpaceX explain the disruptions and restore full access. Two US senators also called for congressional oversight, while SpaceX denied making changes to its service.
