Marco Rubio says Ukraine currently has no access to Starshield and has requested access so it can conduct deep strikes inside Russia. Ukrainian sources dispute that, saying Starshield had already supported middle-strike and interceptor drones operating inside Ukraine. They say Starlink remains blocked inside Russia and that the recent restrictions instead affected Ukrainian operations on Ukrainian territory. #Ukraine
