US military intelligence indicates that Ukraine recaptured significant territory, approximately 400 square kilometers, during a counteroffensive earlier this year. This advance reportedly followed the unavailability of thousands of portable Starlink internet terminals to Russian forces. According to the US Defense Intelligence Agency, the disruption of these communication devices played a role in enabling Ukrainian forces to regain ground. The intelligence assessment highlights the strategic impact of communication infrastructure in the ongoing conflict, linking the inaccessibility of Starlink to Russia's operational challenges and Ukraine's subsequent territorial gains.
