The Pentagon's inspector general did not investigate the disturbances in the operation of the Starlink and Starshield satellite systems in Ukraine at the request of the US senators. According to the Associated Press, his letter to politicians indicated that the US Air Force should answer lawmakers' questions. Senators saw this as a refusal to investigate American billionaire Elon Musk. Lawmakers said the Pentagon's inspector general should have investigated whether U.S. officials approved the satellite malfunctions or knew about them in advance. On October 14, it became known about the slowdown of Starlink in Ukraine. On October 18, Rubio said that Ukraine had been denied access to the Starlink communications system, but the White House had not issued orders to restrict access to Starlink. On October 22, Donald Trump announced the return of Ukraine's access to the Star Shield, but it was reported in Kiev that the restrictions continue to apply - because of them, they disrupted some of the operations of Ukraine's armed forces.
