105 US politicians from the bipartisan Ukraine support group in the US Congress are demanding explanations about the new Starshield internet restrictions for the Defense Forces. Donald Trump’s administration and Elon Musk’s SpaceX company should provide full reports on the situation.
The congressmen made the corresponding appeal on Thursday, November 12. The Ukraine Support Group published a corresponding post on its X (Twitter) page.
“On behalf of the 105 members of the bipartisan Congressional Ukraine Caucus, we demand that the Trump administration and SpaceX provide a full account of how and why this happened, and take immediate steps to restore full access to the Starshield system,” the statement said.
Politicians expressed their concern and recalled that the struggle of Ukrainians against the aggressor is in the interests of the United States.
” Congress has clearly stated that Ukraine’s ability to defend itself and the rest of Europe is a vital national interest of the United States,” the lawmakers said.

What happened to Starshield?
Starshield can be called the “military subscription” of the Starlink satellite internet. This specialized system was created as a division of SpaceX for the needs of the military, intelligence services and government agencies.
Ukrainian defenders in mid-October of this year already faced restrictions on Internet speed. This had a negative impact on the operation of interceptor drones, strike UAVs and a number of other technologies. Musk and the Trump administration shifted responsibility to each other and never found the culprit. Approximately in 10 days, the full operation of Starshield began to gradually resume.
On November 12, new problems with access to the satellite system became known. The Financial Times stated that Kyiv suspects the restrictions are intentional.
“What happened to Starshield?”
Trump happened to it. The most evil, depraved son-of-a-bitch creature to ever dirty the White House with his presence.
