According to Zelenskyy, the Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on communications with the American side regarding the issue of Starshield's speed.
Ukrainian authorities note: unfortunately, along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, the speed limit for the Defense Forces remains at 161 kilometers per hour, which makes it impossible, in particular, to deploy interceptors against jet-powered "Shaheds."
“There are still no clear explanations. I instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the Minister of Defense of Ukraine to engage more actively with the State Department, the Pentagon, and SpaceX to obtain explanations and rectify the situation,” Zelenskyy said.
According to UP sources in the Ministry of Defense, as of November 13, specialists from the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine have recorded a 161 km/h limit over the entire temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Meanwhile, no restrictions have been recorded in territory controlled by Ukraine.
