105 US lawmakers demand restoration of Ukraine's Starshield access

A bipartisan group of 105 US House members has formally demanded that the Trump administration and SpaceX restore full Starshield access for Ukraine's military, signaling congressional pressure on a policy that appears to have restricted or suspended Ukrainian use of the satellite system. The demand suggests a potential rift between Congress and the executive on Ukraine support, with implications for battlefield communications and US-Ukraine relations. The outcome remains uncertain as the administration and SpaceX have not yet responded.

Ukraine Starshield Disruption: Zelensky Alleges US/SpaceX Restrictions

Ukrainian President Zelensky has publicly alleged that US-imposed or SpaceX-implemented speed restrictions on Starshield and Starlink services are hampering Ukraine's air defense capabilities, particularly against Shahed drones, and affecting frontline drone operations. This marks a rare public rift in US-Ukraine defense cooperation and with a key private sector partner. The exact nature, extent, and motivation for these restrictions remain unclear, though 105 US lawmakers have demanded restoration of full access.
