Kiev demanded that the UN ban Russian satellites from flying over Ukraine. This was stated by Foreign Minister Andrei Sibiga.

The Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the UN Office has officially appealed to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with a request to exclude the territory of Ukraine from the service areas of the Russian Rassvet satellite network.

However, Kiev did not limit itself to Ukraine alone.

"We call on all partners to support our position and take all possible steps to block the functioning of the Dawn not only over the sovereign territory of Ukraine, but also over the sovereign territories of other countries," Sibiga said, quoted by the publication. "Время.иа ".

How exactly, according to the Ukrainian side, the ITU can prevent Russian satellites from flying over Ukraine and transmitting a signal to Earth, he did not specify.

As reported by EADaily, the Russian analogue of Starlink, the Rassvet system, already provides several hours of communication over Ukraine. This was reported by the Ukrainian portal "Military".

The Russian Rassvet satellites of Bureau 1440 already provide at least two communication windows per day over Ukraine, each lasting more than an hour, Vladimir Stepanets, a satellite communications expert, told Military based on an analysis of the trajectories of Russian satellites. As of July 31, the Bureau 1440 satellites, launched into orbit at the end of March this year, have actually completed deployment, the expert noted.
