Congressman Threatens to Cut Agency Funding Over Starlink Restrictions in Ukraine

Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick has warned that federal agencies responsible for restricting Ukraine's military access to Starlink could lose their funding. He stated that Congress would intervene if allegations of such restrictions are confirmed. Fitzpatrick told The Wall Street Journal that 'if we leave Ukraine in the dark, there will be consequences,' and that 'agencies won't get funding if they don't do their jobs.' This comes after SpaceX suddenly limited the operation of Starlink terminals used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, disrupting several operations.
