- Trump said Friday his administration did not disrupt the Elon Musk-owned satellite system Ukraine uses to wage war against Russia.
- Restrictions imposed on the system earlier this week hampered the Ukrainian military's ability to intercept Russian attack drones.
Why it matters: Trump's denial collides with the operational reality that this week's restrictions degraded Ukraine's drone-interception capability, leaving a US-made communications system central to Kyiv's front-line defense entangled in domestic political disputes.
