SpaceX has restricted operations of its Starlink satellite internet network in Ukraine, disrupting military operations and missile defense capabilities, news outlets The Jerusalem Post and Makor Rishon reported.

Amid reports of the disruptions, Ukrainian negotiators traveled to the United States on Friday and Saturday in an effort to urge US President Donald Trump to ramp up sanction pressure on Russia.

Makor Rishon characterized the move as a severe blow to Kyiv, while further details regarding the full scope of the restrictions have not yet been released.
