The Telegraph: Musk himself suggested to Trump to slow down Starlink for Ukraine

The British publication, citing four sources, reports that it was Elon Musk who suggested to Donald Trump that restrictions be placed on the speed of Starlink in Ukraine. Trump approved the idea, after which the Pentagon limited the operation of the military version of the system, Starshield. This paralyzed Ukrainian interceptor drones, which cannot reach speeds higher than 160 km/h, while Russian jet drones fly twice as fast.

"One of the sources stated that Trump "agreed" with Musk's proposal, which paved the way for the Pentagon to slow down Starshield," The Telegraph writes.

Previously, Musk publicly blamed the White House for the restrictions, stating that "any speed or usage limitations" are decided by the American military and ultimately by the president. However, according to the publication, Musk himself initiated these measures, fearing a negative reaction from European consumers.

"He wrote on Twitter that he was innocent and that it was the American administration that did it. The reality is that they were both involved," the source told The Telegraph.
