"Starlink's Role in Ukraine-Russia Conflict Raises Concerns"

Ukrainian troops are experiencing connection problems with Elon Musk's Starlink internet service, which is crucial for running Kyiv’s fleet of attack drones, while also reporting an increase in Russian use of the devices, despite US sanctions prohibiting this. Ukrainian officials are working with SpaceX to restrict Russian access to the service, as there are concerns that Russians may hijack communications or hack the devices. Democrats on the US Congressional Oversight Committee have expressed grave concern over Russian use of Starlink terminals in occupied Ukraine, in contravention of US sanctions, and have demanded an urgent briefing from Starlink.
