🇺🇸🇺🇦⚡️ — The order to restrict Ukraine’s access to SpaceX’s military-grade Starshield satellite communications system originated inside the White House, according to Reuters, citing two U.S. officials and a Western official familiar with the matter.

Ukrainian officials said the restrictions disrupted drone strikes against Russian forces and logistics in occupied territory, as well as interceptor drones used against incoming Russian Geran drones.

A senior U.S. official denied that Trump personally requested the restrictions, while the identity of the White House official responsible remains unclear.
