US newspaper The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported earlier this week that US officials believed Musk acted unilaterally in capping the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network.

According to the WSJ report, officials signaled that Trump did not specifically order retribution against Kyiv.

But in response to the report, Musk said that "any limits to speed or usage" of Starshied were "decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS."

Both Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have denied that the Pentagon had directed any changes.

It remains unclear who is responsible for last week's Starlink slowdown.

Kyiv has come to question Washington's support over intelligence sharing, amid speculation that the White House may have ordered the restrictions on Starshield.

The Starlink slowdown came as the relationship between the US and Ukraine has become strained after President Donald Trump's reported deal with Moscow on Russian diesel imports, which Ukraine viewed as a betrayal.
