    It would be illegal to enable it within Russian/occupied territory because of US sanctions.

      He also doesn’t let Ukraine use starlink in Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine, according to a quick google search.

      Why? Can starlink not track which ones they give to Ukraine and not let any others work in the area? Or would that require competence that Leon Skum and company doesn’t have?

        You’re asking the wrong person. I don’t work for U.S. goverment - I don’t know why the sanctions are what they are.
