Russian satellite maneuvers toward European radar satellite aiding Ukraine

A Russian satellite has been approaching a commercial European radar satellite that provides imagery to Ukraine since late September, raising suspicions of a potential intercept or close-approach operation. The intent is unconfirmed, but the maneuver marks a notable escalation in space-based counterspace activity targeting Ukraine's ISR capabilities. This matters as it could degrade Ukraine's battlefield awareness and signal a new domain of direct confrontation.
