There are growing questions over who gave the order to restrict Starlink internet speeds in Ukraine, which disrupted drone operations and, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, put lives at risk. CBS News international reporter Aidan Stretch has the details.
60 Minutes
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the same dispute over Starlink restrictions in Ukraine and their impact on military operations. The Independent foregrounds that new speed limits were imposed remotely by code and says they contributed to multiple mission failures, while 60 Minutes frames the story as growing questions over who ordered the restrictions. Only 60 Minutes explicitly notes Zelenskyy’s claim that the disruptions put lives at risk.
