The restrictions on connectivity came alongside pressure Trump applied on Zelensky to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, claiming these attacks cause global price increases. Conversely, Musk previously denied being behind the slowdown and hinted that the US government might be responsible for the restrictions. In a press conference, Zelensky said the system's speed has not yet been fully restored.
