On October 16, local time, Ukrainian President Zelensky said that the operation of the American Space Exploration Technology Company's “Starlink” satellite internet system has improved, but it has not yet fully recovered. Zelensky said that Ukraine mainly relies on the “Starlink” service to intercept Russian drones, but after the operation speed of the “Starlink” system is limited, some interception tasks will not be completed. Zelensky stressed that the Ukrainian military did not use the “Starlink” system to carry out attacks or counterattacks within Russia. The Ukrainian side has previously submitted requests to SpaceX and the US White House, hoping to open related functions. If Ukraine already has this capability, then there is no need to make such a request. Zelensky also said that European allies have sufficient stocks of “Patriot” missile interceptor bombs, which is enough to help Ukraine survive this winter.
