Elon Musk has restored Ukraine's Starlink internet access, US President Donald Trump has said after restrictions hampered Kyiv's armed forces.

Trump made the comments after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said connectivity to the military-grade Starshield network, which is provided by Musk's satellite-based Starlink system, had yet to be fully restored.

Musk previously denied he was behind the slowdown, which affects Ukraine's ability to use drones to attack Russia and protect itself from attacks.
