What happened

Well supportedReported by 7 independent outlets

Ukraine requested the United States activate Starlink in areas of Russia amid the ongoing war. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russia relies on foreign countries, including the United States and Europe, for approximately 70% of the components used in its ballistic missiles. Separately, Ukraine accused SpaceX of limiting Starlink services, which reportedly disrupted drone missions. The United States recently resumed providing critical intelligence to Ukraine to help defend against Russian missile strikes after a brief interruption.
