Zelensky repeatedly asked Trump to impose sanctions on Russia's analog of Starlink, the satellite system "Rassvet," according to FT.

Zelensky claims China is involved in the technology's development, so Kiev seeks sanctions against both Russian and Chinese companies linked to the project. He stated he raised this issue with Trump "several times," including during their meeting in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

According to Zelensky, the Russian satellite network could become operational by late 2026 or early 2027. Kiev fears that "Rassvet" will allow Russia to provide satellite communications for drones and improve their control capabilities.
