Ukraine seeks urgent US talks on expiring Starshield contract

rbc.ua (Russian) —

Ukraine urgently seeks negotiations with the US to extend its Starshield satellite contract, which expires in mid-2027, according to a senior Ukrainian diplomat's statement on November 5. Deputy Foreign Minister Denys Senik said Kyiv has received no explanation for recent service restrictions and stressed that talks must begin now, as contract renewal requires significant lead time. The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee is preparing investigations into Starshield slowdowns in Ukraine, with letters sent to Elon Musk, who claimed on October 24 that without Starlink the Ukrainian front would collapse.
