Bipartisan U.S. senators have signed a letter requesting an urgent investigation by the U.S. Department of Defense Inspector General into restrictions on SpaceX's Starlink network in Ukraine. Ukraine stated that speed limitations between October 12 and 14 disrupted its battlefield missions, particularly restricting drone flight speeds. The senators expressed "deep concern" over these restrictions, stating they "undermined Ukraine's ability to conduct defensive operations against Russian drone and missile attacks," and demanded to ascertain whether the restrictions were caused by the U.S. Department of Defense or its contractors. SpaceX owner Musk previously hinted that the U.S. government might have been involved in limiting drone speeds in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy also accused the U.S. of withdrawing intelligence sharing to pressure Kyiv into halting attacks on Russian energy facilities.
