Trump says he cannot identify who slowed down Starshield for Ukrainian forces
US President Donald Trump stated in a CBS interview that he is not responsible for the slowdown of the Starshield network in Ukraine and does not know who authorized it.
According to Ukrayinska Pravda, US President Donald Trump stated that he cannot name the party responsible for slowing down the Starshield system for Ukraine, maintaining that he was not personally involved. He made these remarks during an interview with CBS, as reported by European Pravda.
The network anchor reminded Trump of a recent incident when the speed of the Starlink network dropped significantly, complicating its use by Ukrainians, and asked who actually manages this system in the combat zone. 'Well, it wasn't me. It wasn't me. I don't know. I would say I probably have a lot of influence over everything,' Trump responded.
Questions Surrounding Network Control and Frontline Operations
The stability of satellite communication networks remains a vital component for coordination on the battlefield. Any technical disruption or reduction in bandwidth directly impacts the operational capabilities of forces deployed in active engagement zones. The question of administrative control over these terminals continues to be a subject of intense scrutiny among international observers.
Further official statements from technology providers and government representatives are expected as the review of communication protocols in conflict areas continues.
