据美国及国际媒体报道,美国总统特朗普致电企业家埃隆·马斯克,要求其解除对乌克兰星链卫星网络的访问限制13。此前马斯克曾降低乌克兰所依赖的军用级星链网络速度,导致乌克兰无人机失去网络支持12。特朗普随后向记者表示,马斯克已恢复了相关服务23。
然而,乌克兰总统泽连斯基对此提出异议。泽连斯基表示星链系统的速度尚未完全恢复,指出网络速度仍被限制在约160公里/小时,未能达到需要的400公里/小时2。他进一步指出前线使用仍受限,乌军在短时间内接连三次未收到导弹来袭预警,强调乌方需要星链和星盾以更高速运行以应对俄军空袭23。
有报道显示,特朗普之所以向马斯克施压,是因为星链限制影响了乌克兰的无人机攻击能力2。乌克兰首次报告美国情报共享中断的时间为10月14日,该限制措施与特朗普要求泽连斯基停止攻击俄罗斯油炼厂同时出现2。特朗普政府已对俄罗斯豁免部分制裁,并同意进口俄罗斯柴油2。
President Trump contacted Elon Musk to request the removal of restrictions on Ukraine's access to Starlink, according to reporting by the Wall Street Journal 1. The restrictions had previously limited the speed of the military-grade Starlink service that Ukraine depends on for drone operations and defense coordination 23.
Musk had ordered a reduction in network speeds available to Ukraine, capping connectivity at approximately 160 kilometers per hour, which significantly hampered Ukrainian drone attacks against Russian targets 2. Trump claimed that Musk has since restored the service, stating "the bottom line is, he restored it" 2. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated the system speed had not fully recovered, stating it had not been restored to 400 kilometers per hour 2. Zelensky noted that frontline operations remained constrained, with Ukrainian forces experiencing three consecutive instances of failing to receive missile attack warnings in a short timeframe, and emphasized that both Starlink and its military variant Starshield need to operate at higher speeds to counter Russian airstrikes 3.
The speed limitations corresponded with a period when the Trump administration began signaling mixed messages regarding Starshield access restrictions 1, while simultaneously requesting that Zelensky cease attacks on Russian oil refineries 2. The White House has repeatedly denied ordering the access restrictions 2, though the Trump administration has granted some sanctions exemptions to Russia and agreed to import Russian diesel 2.
