Nach Internet-Drosselung: US-Senatoren wollen Antworten zu Starlink in der Ukraine
Die Ukraine ist unter anderem zur Drohnenabwehr auf Elon Musks Satelliten-Internet angewiesen - doch zuletzt hakte es damit. Senatoren der Demokraten laufen sich für eine Untersuchung warm.
US senators are calling for a congressional investigation into SpaceX's internet throttling of Starlink in Ukraine, following the Democratic Party's expected gain of majority control in the upcoming Congress. The Democrats are requesting SpaceX to keep all documents related to the issue, as well as answers to questions such as who ordered the throttling of Starlink and Starshield's speed, as well as the effects of the throttling on both the Ukrainian population and Americans residing in the country.
Both SpaceX and the US government have made conflicting statements regarding the responsibility for the throttling. The Ukrainian military has been using Starlink-based internet since the beginning of the Russian invasion in February 2022, with Ukrainian drones armed with Starlink terminals also engaging targets in the Black Sea and in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently again raised concerns over the throttling of the internet service.
