Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, October 24, 2026 —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Starlink and Starshield internet speeds in Ukraine had returned to previous levels after restrictions were imposed the previous week. He described the satellite services as vital to the country’s military logistics and defense against attacks.

The announcement did not specify when the speeds were restored, what the restrictions involved, or how long they had affected service. It also did not provide technical details about the networks or explain who imposed the restrictions. Those details were not included in the information provided about Zelenskyy’s statement.

Zelenskyy’s remarks linked the satellite technology to military communications and operational needs. The statement characterized the services as important for logistics and defense, but did not identify particular units, locations, or operations that rely on them. It also gave no measurements comparing current speeds with the previous levels.

The announcement concerned both Starlink and Starshield, but did not explain whether the restrictions or restoration affected the two services in the same way. No information was provided about changes to coverage, availability, or service conditions beyond the reported return to previous internet speeds.

The account of the announcement did not include a statement from the companies associated with the services or further details about the restrictions. It therefore remains unclear from the available information what prompted the measures and what steps led to the reported restoration. Zelenskyy’s announcement establishes that he said speeds had returned to previous levels; additional specifics about the change were not provided.
