Ukrainian military's Starlink access suddenly restricted

Original: Ukrainian military’s access to Starlink satellite internet suddenly restricted

Ukraine's military has been hit by a sudden restriction of its Starlink satellite internet access, managed by Elon Musk's SpaceX. The outage coincided with a Russian ballistic missile launch on Ukraine, for which the United States gave no advance warning, raising concerns in Kyiv about the reliability of a service critical to battlefield communications.

Why now: The outage's coincidence with a Russian missile strike and the absence of a US warning has fueled fears about SpaceX cutting off or degrading Ukrainian military connectivity.
