"Concerned": In the United States, an investigation was started after Starlink appeared in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - WP

The material states that investigations against the company of American businessman Ilon Maska began the Democrats of the House of Representatives of the United States. Their task is to find out whether the corporation has taken proper measures to stop the Russians for their purposes at the front of Starlink. The letter demanding the audit was sent by Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia.

They want the company representatives to report complaints about illegal purchases of their production equipment, including in the occupied territories of Ukraine. Legislators were concerned about Ukrainian intelligence statements that the Russians could really bypass US sanctions and apply Starlink terminals in the war.

SpaceX President Guvinn Shotwell was also warned that such incidents, if confirmed, "pose a serious threat to the security of Ukraine, the lives of Ukrainians and US national security. " "We are concerned that you may have no proper precautions and policies," Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia wrote. The letter also reminded that Starlink terminals were sent to Ukraine in the first days of a full -scale invasion. Later, the Ministry of Defense purchased new such gadgets.

Accordingly, now a similar advantage could appear in the Russians. The legislators have expressed fears that SpaceX and Ilon Musk, which is the CEO, can have a wide impact on conflict. We will remind, on February 8 Ukrainian military, radio technologies expert Sergey Bez -Krystnov with the call sign "Flash" said that the Russian military acquired a large party of Starlink and use terminals in temporarily occupied territories. The invaders could buy a satellite system in Dubai.
