- Congress calls for the immediate restoration of full access
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.
Previously, Ukrainian authorities reported severe disruptions in Starshield operations along the frontline, which complicated anti-drone operations. Congress insists on immediate measures to restore full connectivity.
