Ukrainian reporter on how critical SpaceX satellites are to Ukraine's defense against Russia
Sources tell CBS News that Elon Musk chose to restrict Ukraine's access to the SpaceX satellite network. Francis Farrell, senior reporter for the Kyiv Independent, joins CBS News to discuss.
In Oslo, US envoy Steve Witkoff urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to negotiate a deal with Russia, just a day after Zelenskyy met with Norwegian Defense Minister Tore Sandvik. Zelenskyy discussed the possibility of additional NASAMS air defense systems during both meetings. NASAMS, produced by Norwegian firm Kongsberg, utilizes the American-built AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, which Ukraine relies on to neutralize Russian ballistic and hypersonic missiles.
Norway is also contributing to the FREYJA missile-defense project, aiming to test the system by year-end. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy spoke about the need for improved satellite communications, as Starlink's service limitations impacted Ukrainian drone operations.
