Ukraine reports that SpaceX has restricted Starlink internet services, hindering military communications and drone operations.
SpaceX has imposed restrictions on the use of its Starlink satellite internet terminals in Ukraine. These limitations have disrupted military operations, including drone missions and logistical coordination. The move comes as Ukraine relies heavily on Starlink for battlefield communications.
The restrictions follow reports of SpaceX limiting the service's use in certain areas, a decision that has drawn criticism from Ukrainian officials. Starlink has been a vital tool for Ukraine since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, providing a crucial communication link when other networks were compromised.
