President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held an online meeting with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.

The Head of State noted that Ukraine still faces speed restrictions on Starlink and Starshield services in different parts of the front.

“We still have no explanation for this. Just different strange stories we’re hearing, unfortunately,” the President noted.

According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the speed restrictions on Starlink and Starshield undermine frontline logistics, Ukraine’s mid-range strikes, and its ability to defend against “shaheds.”

“The hardest to shoot down are the jet-powered ‘shaheds.’ That’s exactly why we need Starlink and Starshield to work at higher speeds,” the President stressed.

The Head of State briefed on the brutal Russian attack with “shaheds” in the Kharkiv region, which killed six people, including a mother and her child, who was just over a year old.

“This is how Russia responds to sanctions waivers and reduced pressure,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.

The President also briefed them on the situation on the front, where Ukraine is retaking more territory than the Russians are able to capture, and on the offensive operations of Ukrainian warriors.

“I am grateful to America and to all our partners for their support. We fully understand that our success depends on the support of our partners. And without America, things would be much harder for us,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.
