Pentagon Watchdog Rejects Bipartisan Plea to Investigate Ukraine Starlink Disruption

The US Department of Defense inspector general has rejected a bipartisan appeal to launch an investigation into disruptions and restrictions affecting the Starlink satellite network in Ukraine. This was reported by Ukrainian outlets The Kyiv Independent and Dzerkalo Tyzhnia, citing a report by the Associated Press.

The demand for an inquiry was submitted jointly by lawmakers from both US parties following disruptions to the service in Ukraine, but the Pentagon's oversight body decided not to accept the request.

Further details and official reasoning behind the decision have not yet been released.
