Shares in European satellite operator Eutelsat rose sharply on Wednesday after Ukraine said SpaceX's Starlink had introduced restrictions on its military-grade service. Investors appeared to bet that Kyiv could turn to European alternatives, including Eutelsat's OneWeb constellation, if Starlink curtails battlefield connectivity. The move has renewed debate in Europe about reliance on Elon Musk's SpaceX for critical Ukrainian communications.
Why now: Starlink's restrictions on Ukraine's military use raised expectations that European satellite operators like Eutelsat could gain business and strategic importance.
