Ukraine presses US to sanction Russia's Rassvet satellite network

Ukraine's acting ambassador to the US, Denys Sienik, said Kyiv will provide Washington and Congress with details of companies and individuals supporting Russia's Rassvet network, a Starlink-like satellite communications system used for drone operations. This marks an escalation in Ukraine's efforts to degrade Russian military communications via sanctions, though the specific targets and US response remain unclear. The move underscores the growing role of commercial satellite tech in modern warfare and the West's reliance on sanctions to counter it.
