Ukraine. "Deeply concerning" cuts to the Starshield system

The European Commission expressed serious concerns over reported interruptions in Ukraine's Starshield system, which is crucial for detecting and intercepting Russian drones. Brussels urged SpaceX to urgently restore services to ensure communication for Ukrainian forces and protect citizens. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy highlighted that these disruptions directly impact their ability to intercept drones launched from temporarily occupied regions. He criticized decisions made in the U.S. that seem to disregard Ukraine's sovereignty. Zelenskyy reiterated the importance of not recognizing Russian occupation of Ukrainian territory. Starshield is the military version of SpaceX's Starlink satellite service.
