Andy Burnham Tells Donald Trump Ukraine Must Have ‘Full’ Starlink Access
The leaders discussed restoring Ukraine’s full access to Starlink as speed limits have reduced battlefield communications and missile defense, officials said.
- On Friday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham spoke with President Donald Trump, emphasizing the importance of Ukraine maintaining full access to Starlink for defending against Russia's full-scale invasion.
- Ukraine relies heavily on Starlink for battlefield communications and drone operations but experienced bandwidth restrictions last week that significantly diminished its defensive capabilities against Russian missile strikes.
- While Elon Musk suggested the White House ordered the caps, President Trump denied the claim, though the Wall Street Journal reported the tech billionaire personally directed the throttling.
- Downing Street rejected the White House aide's characterization of Vladimir Putin as a "humanitarian" on Thursday, stating Putin has killed thousands of Ukrainians and systematically targeted critical infrastructure.
- Both leaders agreed to work alongside international partners to end the bloodshed, as Downing Street confirmed it engages regularly with the United States administration on Ukraine's defense.
