The Pentagon has refused to investigate the slowdown of Starlink and StarShield in Ukraine, despite a request from US senators from both sides, the Associated Press reports. Nine senators - five Democrats and four Republicans - demanded to know who made the decision to limit the speed of satellite Internet to Ukraine. However, the Pentagon's inspector general told lawmakers those questions would be better directed to the Air Force. "It is troubling that the inspector general appears to have chosen not to investigate satellite communications disruptions that are critical to the protection of the civilian population in Ukraine," said Democratic Senator Jean Shaheen. According to her, the Trump administration and SpaceX are giving conflicting explanations for what happened, and therefore an independent investigation is needed. We will remind you that Musk admitted that SpaceX limited the speed of Starlink in Ukraine, and accused the Ukrainian side of violating the terms of use of the service. Kyiv has denied these allegations.
