Bessent warns Zelenskyy to ‘be very careful’ about claims U.S. is throttling Starlink
Zelenskyy said the pause lasted three days during Russian ballistic missile attacks, while Bessent called the accusation reckless.
- On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to "be very careful" about public claims that the U.S. throttled Starlink and intelligence sharing, calling such charges "reckless" and untrue.
- Zelenskyy recently stated he believed the U.S. government was responsible for technical slowdowns and that Ukraine was "blocked" from U.S. intelligence during Russian missile attacks, hindering the country's defensive response.
- During an NBC interview on "Meet the Press," Bessent defended the administration's Russia policy, rejecting softening claims while explaining that only the diesel embargo was lifted during a 60-day review period.
- Elon Musk claimed last week that the U.S. government and President Donald Trump are "ultimately" responsible for Starshield usage limits, a claim the administration has categorically denied.
- The intelligence dispute arrives amid broader deterioration in relations between Trump and Zelenskyy as both leaders clash over Russia, energy policy, and efforts to end the nearly five-year war.
