What is the likely impact of the loss of Starlink? The Ukrainian human rights activist Oleksandra Matviichuk said : “Without that protection, Russian drones will strike residential buildings, hospitals and schools like targets in a shooting gallery.” However, Starlink is not required for long-range Ukrainian missions that target Russian oil refineries, which Trump has been concerned because of their impact on world energy prices.
