"Unfortunately, we note that in various sections of the front, the equipment stops functioning at speeds of 130–161 kilometers per hour. This hampers our frontline logistics and limits the use of drones of various types, primarily midstrikes and interceptors of reactive 'shahids,'" Zelensky reported. He added that today at all levels, representatives of Ukraine must discuss this issue again with partners. "Speed matters for saving lives," the head of state added. The president separately noted that Ukraine's Minister of Defense Yevhen Khmara, Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha, and the Office team received urgent assignments to contact partners who can provide support for our air defense as quickly as possible. "There are political agreements that have not been fulfilled at the working level. There are also delays in the supply of certain types of vital supplies at the level of the United States Department of Defense," Zelensky reported. He noted that there will be an additional meeting this evening to summarize all the planned contacts for the day. The president expects concrete results. ## ## Starlink Restrictions for Ukraine As reported by UNIAN, the restrictions on the satellite signal for the military version of Starlink were introduced without any warning to Ukraine on the morning of October 15. Ukrainian representatives are trying to negotiate with the manufacturer of the relevant services, SpaceX, and the Pentagon to lift the speed restrictions on the military satellite communication system Starshield. Recently, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Ukraine currently does not have access to the military satellite system Starshield, as discussions are ongoing about how Ukraine could use it in the future.
