Ukrainian military's Starlink access suddenly restricted

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

Ukraine's military has reported sudden restrictions on its access to Starlink satellite internet, a service provided by Elon Musk's SpaceX that is critical to battlefield communications. The outage coincided with a Russian ballistic missile launch on Ukraine that came without the usual advance warning from US intelligence, prompting concern in Kyiv about the reliability of American support.

Why now: The outage's timing with a Russian missile strike raises fears that US support for Ukraine's battlefield connectivity is weakening.
