"Be prepared for a potential Starlink shutdown on the front lines," said a spokesperson from Berlin.
Ukrainian public figure and volunteer Maria Berlinska believes that Ukrainians could be cut off from communication via Starlink, while Russians might be allowed to retain it. Berlinska wrote this in her Telegram channel, as reported by UNN.

On Monday, February 19, Ukrainian public figure and volunteer, head of the technological enhancement project for the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine, Victory Drones, co-founder of the Dignitas Charitable Foundation, and founder of the NGO "Center for Aerial Reconnaissance Support," Maria Berlinska urged Ukrainian military personnel to secure alternative means of communication.
She believes that Russia, in collaboration with the United States, could deprive the Armed Forces of Ukraine of "the most crucial thing at the front" - communication, thereby blackmailing Ukraine.
According to Maria Berlinska, "they will try to bend us to the will of the powerful. Without any justice, simply by the right of strength."
"Without a plan B, chaos will ensue, and we will lose a significant number of people. There is no complete alternative to Starlink. However, there are several possible combined options that the communications specialists are aware of. It might work out. But it’s better to be prepared. Not like always," the public figure emphasized.
Reminder
U.S. President Trump escalates the conflict with Zelensky and adopts narratives that also benefit Moscow. After negotiations between the U.S. and Russia in Riyadh without Ukraine’s participation, Trump questioned the legitimacy of the Ukrainian government.
