White House ordered Starlink restrictions in Ukraine, Reuters reports

Original: Reuters: White House ordered restrictions on Starlink Ukraine

Reuters reports that the order to limit SpaceX's Starshield (Starlink military variant) services in Ukraine came from inside the White House, according to sources. The report suggests US political leadership directly shaped restrictions on the satellite network's role in the war effort, raising questions about Washington's policy toward Ukraine and its control over critical battlefield communications provided by Elon Musk's SpaceX.

Why now: The claim that the White House itself directed limits on a vital Ukrainian military capability touches on sensitive wartime policy and US-Ukraine relations.
