as posted by the channel

The Russian military has admitted that Starlink satellite internet terminals it uses in its war against Ukraine have not been in operation for two weeks, but claims this has had no effect on ‌its ⁠drone operations.

Earlier this year Starlink owner Elon Musk said the company was taking "measures" to stop the Russian military from using its terminals.
