Ukraine whitelists Starlink terminals
Change
Ukraine will require Starlink terminals to be registered and will disconnect any terminals not on a government whitelist.
Why it matters
Ukraine and SpaceX collaborated to stop strikes by Russian drones using Starlink connectivity. Ukraine will require registration of Starlink terminals and maintain a government whitelist of verified terminals; terminals not on the whitelist will be disconnected. Residents must visit an Administrative Services Center in person to register terminals. Businesses can verify terminals online, while military and service members will use separate registration systems and service members add personal terminals to the whitelist to retain access.
Implications
- • Unregistered Starlink terminals will be disconnected and lose satellite-broadband connectivity within Ukraine.
- • Individual users must complete an in-person registration visit to retain service.
