US Representative Brian Fitzpatrick, a Pennsylvania Republican, has vowed investigations, public hearings and budget cuts for anyone who restricted Ukraine’s Starshield access. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Monday, Oct. 19, that Starlink terminals still fail above 130-161 km/h (81-100 mph), although US President Donald Trump previously denied ordering restrictions, and claimed the system operated normally on Oct. 17. The pushback comes as outages continue to cripple Ukrainian interceptor drones, while the White House’s waiver of Russia sanctions deepens tensions with Kyiv.
