Trump says Ukraine's Starshield access is back; a European official says limits persist
President Trump says Ukraine's Starshield satellite access has been restored, but a European official says the restrictions were still in place Thursday, and U.S. officials and allies are giving conflicting explanations.
President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Ukraine has regained access to the Starshield satellite system. This followed Kyiv's report that its access had been limited, France 24 reports.
A European official told France 24 the restrictions were still not over in Ukraine as of Thursday.
Trump administration officials and their allies have blamed one another for the limits, according to France 24 and PBS NewsHour. PBS says they have given mixed messages about what caused the sudden restrictions.
PBS describes the restrictions as affecting Kyiv's ability to intercept Russian strikes.
