Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has demanded clarity on the underperformance of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network, which has become a critical but increasingly unreliable tool for Ukraine’s military communications amid ongoing conflict.

Zelenskyy’s calls follow months of reliance on Starlink to maintain command and control, with officials questioning whether the satellite infrastructure can withstand sustained interference. The inquiry comes as Ukraine’s defense depends heavily on real-time data and secure communications to counter adversarial tactics.
