[U.S. Democratic Senators Ask Musk to Preserve Documents Related to the Use of Starlink in Ukraine] November 14th: A letter released on Friday showed that Democratic members of the U.S. Senate Foreign Affairs Committee have asked SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to preserve all documents, communications and electronic storage information related to the use of the company's "Starlink" and "Starshield" systems in Ukraine. The Democratic Party has won at least eight new seats in the Senate in the midterm elections and has vowed to make SpaceX's role in the Ukraine war a key issue after the new Congress opens in January next year.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier this week that Star Shield internet terminals used by frontline troops to deter Russian attacks were once again restricted. This could be a repeat of a similar situation last month, when Ukraine reported similar restrictions on its use of the system provided by SpaceX.
