Senate Democrats to Probe Starlink Restrictions in Ukraine
US Senate Democrats are planning an investigation into restrictions on Starlink and Starshield services in Ukraine, sending Elon Musk a letter demanding he preserve all related documents and records, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Democrats intend to launch a series of investigations into the Trump administration's actions regarding the war in Ukraine after they gain control of Congress in January. The letter cites service disruptions that hampered Ukrainian military operations between October 13-24 and on November 12, with Musk required to respond by November 30. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on November 12 that Starshield speed was limited on occupied Ukrainian territories, warning against recognizing Russian occupation. SpaceX denies imposing any access restrictions this week.
