Zelensky discusses Ukraine crisis with Kushner, Witkoff amid Starlink dispute

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed the ongoing crisis with Russia and U.S. involvement in peace talks during a call with former Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The conversation followed recent tensions, including Zelensky's assertion that the U.S. government influenced restrictions on Starlink and Starshield satellite systems used by Ukraine. While U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the U.S. government was not involved and Starlink access has been restored, Ukrainian officials maintain the U.S. government communicated a directive to limit the systems' speed.
