The Russian Security Council noted the destabilizing role of the Starlink and Oneweb satellite systems. "There was a meeting of the members of the Presidency of the Scientific Expert Council of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on the use of the local low-orbit satellite communication system and Internet access to ensure the information security of the Russian Federation," the statement said. "During the meeting, the main risks and threats of using Western space communication systems on the territory of sovereign states to undermine the socio-political situation were noted," the press service said. "First of all, this applies to the extensive satellite communication services Starlink and OneWeb, which are actively expanding in countries interested in accelerated digitalization of national economies," the statement said.
