On November 12, 2026, US Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Thom Tillis, along with 105 members of the House of Representatives, called for the immediate restoration of Ukraine's Starshield satellite capabilities, which have faced renewed disruptions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that these restrictions are hampering Ukraine's ability to intercept Russian drones, leading to increased civilian casualties. The Starshield system, crucial for military operations, has reportedly imposed speed limits on interceptor drones, complicating their engagement with fast-moving Russian UAVs. Lawmakers are demanding accountability from the Trump administration and SpaceX regarding the reasons behind these disruptions and are urging for congressional oversight. The situation is as Ukraine continues to negotiate peace while facing ongoing Russian aggression.
