On the subject of the current situation with the space forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On November 9, Bill No. 13,255 of 05/02/2025 on the establishment of a separate branch of the armed forces - the Space Forces - passed in its first reading.
The stated tasks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: deploying a missile launch early warning system, dealing with transatmospheric threats, creating a sovereign network of secure satellite communications and developing its own orbital reconnaissance group.
At the same time, Ukraine does not have a full military satellite group. The state satellite Sich-2-30 and the acquired Finnish ICEYE-X8 were burned in the fall of 2025. Now only the experimental communication satellite Oberya Nano and two unconfirmed devices are registered from Firepoint, and the intelligence data of the armed forces of Ukraine comes from Western groups. The Ministry of Education and Science is also working on creating satellite communication with ICEYE and Nokia.
