Ukraine said Starshield was working normally again on Saturday morning, the Wall Street Journal reported. U.S. officials said Trump had asked Elon Musk to restore the service.

Speed restrictions imposed by Musk's SpaceX had hampered Ukraine's drone forces since Oct. 14, making the restoration a change in communications availability for those operations.
