A bipartisan group of more than 100 US congressmen has formally demanded that the administration and SpaceX provide a comprehensive report regarding the loss of Ukraine's access to the Starshield military network, calling for its immediate restoration.
Representative Don Bacon stated on social media platform X that speed limits and operational restrictions on terminal equipment hinder Ukraine's defense capabilities and aid the aggressor. Lawmakers emphasize the need for strict congressional oversight to identify those responsible.
