Ukraine said Starlink and Starshield were back to pre-restriction performance on Saturday, with the defence ministry reporting a stable connection above 400 kph after more than a week of curbs.
The restored speeds matter because the earlier 160 kph cap had disrupted air-defence interceptions and forced some drone missions to be cancelled, according to Ukrainian officials.
Hours later, Elon Musk said Ukraine's military had violated Starlink terms by using the system for offensive drone strikes and that a "loophole" had been closed last week; Kyiv rejected that accusation.
Ukraine says it cannot physically use Starlink for medium- and long-range attack drones and relies on the network mainly for frontline communications, where Starshield-enabled medium-range drones have been important this year.
The dispute followed curbs imposed after Donald Trump announced a Russian diesel deal and pressed Kyiv to stop hitting Russian refineries, with Reuters previously reporting the throttling order came from inside the White House.
