A bipartisan group of US lawmakers is opposing President Trump's easing of Russian energy import restrictions, emphasizing the need for continued military and intelligence support for Ukraine. Recent disruptions to Ukraine's Starlink satellite communications, reportedly affecting military operations, have raised concerns.
