Abstract:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted on social platforms that the Ukrainian army has recorded major operational disruptions to Star Shields in various parts of Ukraine and occupied areas for several consecutive days. Zelensky said Starship was being systematically imposed a speed limit of 100 miles per hour, or 161 kilometers per hour.
He said these restrictions make it more difficult for the Ukrainian army to intercept Russian jet-powered drones.
According to Zelensky, some Russian attacks were able to break through the defenses because Ukraine's interception system was unable to reach sufficient speed.
Ukraine is seeking an explanation from the United States on the specifics of these restrictions.
The news came as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to promote a peace agreement to end the war in Ukraine.
