Nov 13 (Reuters) – President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on ​Friday that ‌speed restrictions remained in place on the US Starshield ‌satellite ​communications system, ⁠hampering the ⁠Ukrainian military’s ability to operate inside the country.

“Unfortunately, the ​speed restrictions remain in ⁠place along ⁠the entire ​front line and ​in temporarily-occupied territories of ‌Ukraine,” he said in his nightly video ⁠address.

“I expect the Ministry of Defence and the ⁠Foreign ‌Ministry, together ⁠with all ​relevant ‌structures in the ​United ⁠States, will work through this issue.”
