The Russian army uses Starlink for military purposes despite sanctions restrictions. There is evidence that Russia may have used Starlink to perpetrate drone attacks in Ukraine in January and February. Kyiv is coordinating with SpaceX to restrict Moscow’s use of Starlink. SpaceX imposed speed limits that disrupt fast-moving Russian drones, and, as a more thorough long-term solution, created a registration “white list” so that only verified terminals can operate in Ukraine.
Ukraine is currently dependent on a single private provider for essential military functions while Russia has the ability to bypass sanctions to obtain military equipment through using other countries as re-export hubs.
