Russian Forces In Ukraine Scramble To Overcome Musk’s Starlink Restrictions​

Russia is frantically trying to plug massive communications gaps after SpaceX CEO Elon Musk restricted the Starlink satellite communications system in and around Ukraine to only registered users. Both sides have relied very heavily on Starlink terminals for battlefield communications, and, more recently, Russians have been installing unregistered Starlink terminals on drones to provide beyond line-of-sight connectivity and resistance to jamming. This is a very troubling development for Ukraine, which is now experiencing attacks by drones suspected of using Starlink.

After winning their election, the sitting government of Japan has made the unprecedented move to join the PURL initiative for the purchase of U.S. weapons for Ukraine. At this point Japan will not purchase offensive weapons, rather, they plan to purchase items such as air defense radars, body armor and medical equipment.

Japan is expected to announce the contents of their first PURL package in the coming days, marking their first military aid for Ukraine since the outset of the war. Previously, they've spent billions in cash.

The.fungibility of money is why this is so important. All of this equipment is necessary, regardless of who buys it for Ukraine. If Japan buys non-lethal aid, that allows the contributions of other countries to buy more lethal aid.

Japan to Join NATO’s PURL – Will Fund Only Non-Lethal US Gear for Ukraine

Under the plan, Japan will bankroll purchases of non-lethal equipment for Ukraine – likely including radar systems and body armor – while continuing to avoid direct funding of lethal weapons.
