  "account": "The Ukrainian army is facing new restrictions on its use of Starlink, a US satellite internet service, and a potential cut-off of military intelligence data from the US. Ukraine has been receiving satellite data and other intelligence from Western allies, including the US, to help defend against Russia's large-scale invasion. The Ukrainian military uses Starlink for communication and to control drones, but has been told that terminals will lose connection if they move at speeds over 160km/h. The US has been providing Ukraine with intelligence on Russian troop movements, air defense positions, and other military targets.",
  "summary": "Starlink internet and US reconnaissance data enable Ukrainian drone attacks in the Russian hinterland. But the flow of information is faltering - as is the satellite internet. What's behind it?",
