> The Daily Telegraph reported that restrictions on Starlink in Ukraine have left a significant portion of the Ukrainian military’s drone arsenal unusable. Communications gaps of 10 to 20 seconds disrupted drone control and forced some missions to be canceled. The paper said a likely halt to intelligence sharing with Washington could further worsen Ukraine’s position.
