Democratic U.S. senators have told Elon Musk to preserve all records related to his company SpaceX’s restrictions on Ukraine’s use of its Starlink and Starshield satellite services.
asserted
senators → tell → services
Ukrainian forces say Starshield, the military-grade version of Starlink, is vital for frontline communications and drone operations in their defense against Russian drone and missile attacks.
asserted
Starshield → say → attacks
But in mid-October, Ukrainian officials complained that the service had been restricted without explanation or warning, limiting their military’s ability to conduct complicated strike missions against Russian forces and slowing interceptor drones used to shoot down Russian attack drones.
asserted
service → complain → drones
“The October and November restrictions now raise the disturbing possibility that these vulnerabilities persist even within systems on which the U.S. government relies,” Senators Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Chris Coons of Delaware said in a letter to Mr. Musk.
asserted
Shaheen → raise → Musk
They gave Mr. Musk until November 30 to provide written confirmation that “all appropriate preservation measures have been implemented.”
asserted
measures → give → confirmation
The lawmakers sought SpaceX’s records since September 1, including all communications related to Starlink and Starshield in Ukraine as well as communications between Musk, SpaceX executives and the White House and Pentagon.
asserted
lawmakers → seek → Musk
Shaheen and Coons said the restrictions raised “serious questions” about SpaceX’s control over communications systems critical to national security and criticized what they described as “opaque decision-making.”
asserted
they → say → making
Reuters reported in October that an order to limit Starshield service used by Ukrainian forces came from inside the White House.
asserted
order → report → House
Secretary of State Marco Rubio disputed that account, saying decisions on Ukraine’s access to the service were up to SpaceX and Musk.
asserted
decisions → dispute → SpaceX
Later that month Ukraine said Starlink and Starshield were operating normally.
asserted
Starlink → say → ?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday (November 12, 2026), however, that Ukrainian military units had again recorded disruptions to Starshield communications.
asserted
units → say → communications
