> The decision of the U.S. to shut off intelligence and throttle the military version of Starlink called Starshield to Ukraine.

Ukraine does not use Starshield, only Starlink. Take this article with a grain of salt.

The rumor [0][1] is that both Ukraine and Russia install GPS spoofers as a workaround for geofencing. Another rumor is that Starlink recently updated their software to detect and block such attempts that is based on rapid satellite switch detection by the Starlink terminal that happened if the terminal was moving faster than 160km/h.

When Ukrainian officials say they use Starshield, they probably use Starshield.

    Is your claim that the governments cannot lie, or that the Ukrainian government cannot lie?

      Even Elon Musk made the difference between the two. He's in control of Starlink, US government in control of Starshield. Ukraine claims both were affected.

      How hard can it be to reason about this? Maybe ask ChatGPT, and it will says it's both.

      But sure, they all lie and you are right, Ukraine only has Starlink. Not a problem for me at all, and the world can be flat too, no issue with that. Have a fun day.
