SpaceX: EU satellite plan threatens to bring down communications on Ukraine via Starlink

The European Union's plan is to assign part of the satellite spectrum to European operators and restrict access for the United States and China is jeopardizing the work of Starlink communications, including on Ukraine.

This is reported by the Financial Times agency, referring to the statement of the press service of Elon Musk's SpaceX company. They criticized the intentions of the European Union, noting that failures can be significant.

"This proposal creates a significant likelihood that Europeans will be left without satellite services directly connected to smartphones, or this will lead to global interference problems, including for emergency services such as on Ukraine," SpaceX said in a press release.

It's about intent The EU reserves most of the satellite spectrum, allowing devices to connect to satellites directly, for European operators, and frequencies for companies from The United States and China to limit.

Musk's company stated that this approach puts the country of registration "above economic, technical and regulatory realities."

Earlier, EADaily reported that the Russian Wave-Dome-Garant electronic warfare system (EW) not only jammed the signals of Starlink terminals on the front line, but also caused the satellites themselves to malfunction, which experts call irreversible.
