US lawmakers demand answers from Elon Musk over Ukraine Starlink restrictions

U.S. lawmakers, led by Representatives Gregory Meeks and Senator Peter Welch, have demanded answers from Elon Musk regarding disruptions to Starlink services affecting Ukraine's military operations. In a letter, they posed five questions about the implications of Musk's control over military communications and the legal obligations of SpaceX. Ukrainian forces are facing significant challenges due to limited Starlink capacity, which hampers their defense against Russian attacks. President Zelensky confirmed ongoing issues with Starlink, while Senator Richard Blumenthal announced an investigation into the matter, seeking clarity on who imposed the restrictions and the military's reliance on the service.
