Sienik warned that if Russia completes this satellite constellation, it could gain the ability to attack Ukraine with real-time information, potentially proving devastating, especially with winter approaching. Ukraine also desires access to Starlink services within Russia to target Russian operations. Additionally, Kyiv seeks more stringent measures against vessels suspected of being part of Russia's \"ghost fleet,\" used to evade restrictions on oil sales.
