Ukraine Says Starlink Restrictions Disrupt Military Operations

In October 2026, Ukraine said some military-grade Starlink services were restricted, disrupting operations as Russian attacks continued. A adviser to Zelensky said Kiev would fail to counter Russian jet-powered drones without Starlink. The Kremlin commented on Ukraine's restricted access to Starlink and on the settlement process. Ukraine accused the United States of helping Russia amid the reported curbs and missile strikes on Kyiv.
