Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he feels personally “betrayed” by US President Donald Trump after reports that Ukraine’s military access to Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite service has been reduced. Zelensky made the remarks during interviews while visiting London and on the “Piers Morgan Uncensored” programme, linking the Starlink restrictions to broader concerns about Washington’s long-term support for Kyiv during the war with Russia.

The outlets report Zelensky’s wider criticism that Trump and his advisers have pushed the US toward the “wrong side,” and he warns that Ukraine is “losing America” as a partner. The Guardian also notes strains in relations, including the US agreeing to buy diesel from Moscow, and describes Zelensky’s comment as risking a breakdown in already difficult ties. The Washington Examiner and Kyiv Post similarly frame the reaction as Zelensky urging scrutiny from US officials, while tying Starlink limitations to operational and human costs as Russia continues attacks across Ukraine.

While the reports focus on Zelensky’s accusations and warning, they present the core issue consistently: changes to Starlink access are being viewed by Kyiv as a sign of shifting American commitment.
