Ukraine's contract for access to the Star Shield (military analogue of Starlink) satellite network is ending. Reuters The agreement with the US government will expire in mid-2027, and Kiev wants to start negotiations on a new agreement early. This was announced by the Commissioner for Ukraine in Washington Scenic. "We want clarity on whether we can move forward and what the terms will be," Sinick said. The issue of the extension arose against the background of the restrictions faced by the Ukrainian armed forces in October. The Reuters news agency recalls that sudden restrictions on the speed of the terminals made it difficult to intercept Russian attack drones and forced the Ukrainian military to cancel some operations.
