According to the report, the shutdown of unregistered Starlink satellite internet terminals in Ukraine has plunged the Russian occupation army into chaos, leading to new incidents of friendly fire. Because of this chaos, Army units and their radios for communication were jammed by their own electronic warfare systems. As a result, command and control among the Russian occupiers has been severely disrupted, which has already led to negative consequences.
The report stated that Russian drones powered by Starlink are difficult to shoot down, as they fly at low altitudes and are resistant to electronic warfare. However, in late January 2026, the American company SpaceX began blocking Starlink terminals not registered in Ukraine. It should be noted that the Ukrainian Defense Forces also actively use Starlinks, but officially, so SpaceX has not shut them down. The blocking of unregistered Starlink terminals in Ukraine has meant that the Russian occupiers can no longer use them.
From the report of Atesh, it said that their communications on the front lines have been completely disrupted, and drones are experiencing problems. This situation is advantageous for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. If the command of the Russian occupation army has almost completely lost control of its troops, the Ukrainian Armed Forces must quickly take advantage of this, as the enemy may soon find new communication channels.
Additionally, many were shocked that Ukraine began shutting down unregistered Starlink satellite internet terminals, which has resulted in the loss of service across all units of the Russian occupation army. Russia actively imported Starlink satellite communications terminals through so-called gray schemes for use in the war against Ukraine. American satellite terminals are being used to attack drones to improve the accuracy of attacks on military and civilian targets. Communications in the Russian occupation army have effectively returned to 2022 levels. SpaceX began taking its first countermeasures against the Russian military's use of Starlink terminals in January 2026. Elon Musk promised to continue cooperating with Kyiv on this issue.
