Ukraine says Starlink speed curbs remain despite Trump assurance乌克兰方面表示，尽管特朗普保证解除，但星链的限速措施仍然存在。
KYIV, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Speed restrictions on Starlink communication systems in Ukraine remained in place, Ukrainian officials said on Friday, contradicting US President Donald Trump's statement that the services had been fully restored.

KYIV, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Speed restrictions on Starlink communication systems in Ukraine remained in place, Ukrainian officials said on Friday, contradicting USPresident Donald Trump's statement that the services had been fully restored.
Five Ukrainian officials familiar with the matter said that restrictions on Starlink that disrupt connections for drones flying faster than 160 km per hour persisted.
Trump said on Thursday that SpaceX CEO Elon Musk had restored Ukraine's Starlink access.
The caps have been in place since October 13 as relations between Kyiv and Washington deteriorated.
"We are currently not observing any lifting of speed limits on Starlink,"Serhiy Beskrestnov, adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said on the Telegram app.
"There are isolated instances where Starlink may travel slightly faster than the speed limit, but this is likely due to the SpaceX algorithm or specific usage conditions."
A source from the Defence Ministry and two other Ukrainian officials familiar with the matter also confirmed the restrictions.
Ukraine's problems with Starlink came after Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel and waived new sanctions on Moscow. Trump also told Ukraine to stop its attacks on Russian oil refineries and said thatZelenskiy should be replaced.
Zelenskiy said that the restrictions complicated Ukraine's efforts to repel Russian jet drone attacks on Ukrainian cities. They also hamperedKyiv's military efforts along the front line, where Starlink terminals were used to fly drones into occupied Ukrainian territory.
"Our people are waiting for positive news, hoping that the restrictions will be lifted and our defenders will have the capabilities they need to protect lives,"Denys Sienik from the Ukrainian embassy in the United States said in a post on X.
"Unfortunately, as of today, nothing has changed. We continue to wait."

基辅，10 月 23 日（路透社）——乌克兰官员周五表示，乌克兰境内的 Starlink 通信系统仍然受到速度限制，这与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普关于该服务已完全恢复的说法相矛盾。
五名熟悉此事的乌克兰官员表示，针对飞行速度超过每小时 160 公里的无人机的 Starlink 连接中断限制仍然存在。
特朗普周四表示，SpaceX 首席执行官埃隆·马斯克已经恢复了乌克兰的星链服务。
自 10 月 13 日以来，随着基辅和华盛顿之间关系的恶化，这些限制措施一直有效。
“我们目前没有观察到星链的速度限制有任何解除，”乌克兰总统泽连斯基的顾问谢尔盖·别斯克列斯特诺夫在 Telegram 应用上表示。
“在个别情况下，星链的飞行速度可能会略微超过速度限制，但这很可能是由于 SpaceX 的算法或特定的使用条件造成的。”
国防部的一名消息人士和另外两名熟悉此事的乌克兰官员也证实了这些限制措施。
在特朗普宣布购买俄罗斯柴油并豁免对莫斯科的新制裁之后，乌克兰与星链项目出现了问题。特朗普还要求乌克兰停止袭击俄罗斯炼油厂，并表示泽连斯基应该下台。
泽连斯基表示，这些限制措施使乌克兰抵御俄罗斯无人机对乌克兰城市的袭击变得更加复杂。它们也阻碍了基辅在前线的军事行动，俄罗斯曾利用星链终端将无人机送入被占领的乌克兰领土。
“我们的人民正在等待好消息，希望限制措施能够解除，我们的保卫者能够拥有保护生命所需的能力，”乌克兰驻美国大使馆的丹尼斯·谢尼克在X网站上发帖说。
“遗憾的是，截至目前，情况没有任何改变。我们只能继续等待。”
