EU admits it cannot replace Starlink for Ukraine as Kyiv reports restrictions

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas acknowledged that Starlink is indispensable for Ukraine and that the EU cannot replace this capability in the short term, amid Ukrainian military complaints about restrictions on the satellite network owned by Elon Musk. This marks a rare public admission of dependency on a private US company for a critical military capability, highlighting a strategic vulnerability for Kyiv and its European allies. The situation is developing as the extent and nature of the restrictions remain unclear.
