Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on US tech billionaire Elon Musk Wednesday to restore the Starlink system used on the battlefield, which Kyiv says has been slowed down.

“So they switched off. It’s their decision,” Zelensky told UK journalist Piers Morgan, when asked what his message was to Musk about the system which helps Ukraine’s military hit Russian-occupied territory and operate interceptor drones.

“I hope that it’s a mistake, maybe huge technical problem. I don’t know, but we are asking to do it, to switch (it) on.”
