In brief

The Republican congressman said renewed restrictions on the satellite system were hampering Ukraine's defence. He urged Congress to establish who ordered them.

US Republican congressman Don Bacon called for congressional scrutiny of renewed restrictions on Starshield, a satellite system used by Ukrainian forces, UNIAN reported, citing his post on X.

Bacon said restrictions and reduced operating speeds were again hindering Ukraine's ability to defend itself. He alleged that the measures were causing more Ukrainian deaths and helping Vladimir Putin.

He named the executive branch and Elon Musk as possible decision-makers without establishing who had issued the order. Bacon urged Congress to identify those responsible; UNIAN's report did not specify the date of his post or report that a congressional investigation had begun or the restrictions had been lifted.
