According to a report from Ukrainian website Defense Express, Russian drones are now actively using Starlink hardware for “unlimited” communication over Ukraine’s territory. This past week, Kyiv’s defense forces shot down 28 drones sent as part of Russia’s attack on the Kharkiv region, and some Starlink-branded equipment was seen among the wreckage for the first time.

    As I said in my other comment, Ukraine is under martial law. Privacy rights are low on the list at the moment due to Russians invading and killing citizens. It doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to save lives.

      If saving lives was a goal, Ukraine wouldn’t have started a war.

        What mental gymnastics did you have to perform to believe Russia entering Ukraine is somehow Ukraine starting the war?

        That’s like saying you started a fight when I’m the one who just sucker punched you first.

          History didn’t start in 2021. All Ukraine had to do was not try to join NATO or use the military against Ukrainian civilians that voted to separate from Ukraine.
