Mykhailo Fedorov said Starlink connectivity at speeds of up to 160 km/h was being restored and that removing the Starshield speed limit was critical for Ukraine defence. Elon Musk replied that Starshield is controlled by the US government and that Starlink is a commercial service limited to civilian or defensive activities, not offensive military action. These are the two accounts statements; no separate policy document was read.

Verification: unverified

Evidence: Starlink connectivity at speeds of up to 160 km/h is being restored, Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government

The two original X posts by Mykhailo Fedorov and Elon Musk were read. They document the accounts statements about Starlink and Starshield limits; no separate US government or SpaceX policy document was read.
