Lawmakers Demand Answers on Ukraine Satellite Access
Pressure is mounting on the Trump administration to restore and expand Ukraine’s access to Starshield satellite systems, a specialized branch of the Starlink satellite systems run by SpaceX. A bipartisan group of lawmakers has urged the administration to lift speed restrictions and expand the Starshield contract to bolster Ukraine’s military capacity. The lawmakers argue that any degradation in service undermines Ukraine’s military effectiveness and provides Russian forces with an operational advantage. This development was reported by The Hill.
