Russians looking for ways to activate Starlink – Defense Ministry advisor

Ukrinform reports this, citing a Telegram post by Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov, an advisor to Ukraine’s Minister of Defense.

“The enemy is looking for ways to activate Starlink. They share their ideas in groups, and then these posts circulate in our groups as well. All of their ideas are trivial: send someone to a government service center for money, use a fictitious LLC, remove a Starlink terminal from a captured drone, and so on,” Beskrestnov noted.

He emphasized that all such scenarios had been anticipated by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, along with both the risks and countermeasures.

“We will block all of these Starlinks (we know how), but those who try to make ‘easy money’ from the enemy will face imprisonment – and not a short one. This isn’t about setting a car on fire and running away; it’s about going to a government service center and essentially documenting your crime for the court. So, my advice to traitors is: don’t even try,” Beskrestnov stressed.

As previously reported by Ukrinform, restrictions on the use of Starlink terminals have significantly complicated the coordination of Russian forces and have already affected assault operations in certain sections of the frontline.
