Zelenskyy: 'Reports were presented by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Yevhenii Khmara, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykhailo Drapatyi. For several days now, our units have been observing significant operational disruptions in the Starshield system across Ukrainian territory—both along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territories. Specifically, a systemic speed limit of 161 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour) is being applied to Starshield. The Ukrainian military has investigated the situation and determined that these are not random glitches, but rather a deliberate, systemic speed restriction. For us, this primarily creates a major obstacle in intercepting Russian jet-powered drones. Regrettably, there have already been successful enemy strikes because our interception assets cannot reach sufficient speeds to intercept the targets in time. '
