Starlink, Ukraine and Digital Sovereignty
Show notes
On 14 October 2026, Ukraine's military Starlink terminals stopped working at speeds above 161 km/h. That left the interceptor drones Ukraine uses against Russia's jet-powered drones unable to do their job. Helen Uvarenko talks to Oleksandr Iefremov, CEO of the Ukrainian GovTech company Kitsoft, about how Ukraine came to depend on one company, and how any government can avoid the same trap.
