US Senators Urge Pentagon to Expand Ukraine's Access to Starshield
Published
U.S. senators have urged the Secretary of Defense to strengthen Ukraine's access to the Starshield satellite system. According to them, this will help Ukrainian forces better manage their units and receive intelligence data.
The statement says lawmakers want the access to be broader, including over the territory of Russia. Starshield is the military version of the satellite network created by the American company SpaceX. Ukrainian forces already use similar satellite services for communications and battlefield surveillance.
So far, the Pentagon has not made a final decision on this proposal. The question of expanding access remains under discussion in Washington. Details of possible changes have not yet been made public.
For Ukraine, such decisions are of great importance, since satellite communications and intelligence are vital for defense. The further development of this situation should be watched in the near future.
