英国国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷在访问华盛顿期间敦促美国继续支持乌克兰1。此次访问旨在缓解美国政府周一突然限制乌克兰军队使用星链卫星网络服务所引发的紧张局面1。斯特里廷将在与美国国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯会晤前发表演讲1。
美国政府限制星链的举措对乌克兰战事造成了直接影响1。乌克兰士兵报告称，无人机上的终端在时速超过100英里时停止工作，导致通信中断，进而使对俄占领土的无人机攻击突然停止1。这一限制还引发了乌克兰拦截俄罗斯新型喷气攻击机能力的担忧1。乌克兰官员进一步报告美国威胁，如果乌克兰不放弃对俄罗斯炼油厂的攻击，将切断用于乌克兰探测来袭导弹的情报共享1。
斯特里廷表示："美国和英国很少有比现在更重要的时刻来团结一致"1。英国首相安迪·伯纳姆周三在伦敦与泽连斯基会晤时表示，英国将支持乌克兰1。
British Defense Secretary Wes Streeting is visiting Washington to press the United States to maintain its support for Ukraine, seeking to ease tensions following a sudden American restriction on the Ukrainian military's use of Starlink satellite services.1 Streeting will address concerns before meeting with US Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth.1
The controversy erupted Monday when the US government abruptly limited Ukrainian forces' access to Starlink, disrupting their military operations.1 Ukrainian soldiers reported that terminals on unmanned aircraft ceased functioning when traveling at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour, causing communications blackouts.1 The restriction halted Ukrainian drone strikes against Russian-occupied territory, raising concerns about Ukraine's ability to intercept Russian aircraft.1 According to Ukrainian officials, the US also threatened to cut intelligence sharing used to detect incoming missiles if Ukraine did not cease attacks on Russian oil refineries.1
Streeting emphasized the urgency of transatlantic unity, stating: "There are few moments when it is more important for America and Britain to stand together than now."1 British Prime Minister Andy Burnham met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in London on Wednesday to reaffirm UK support for Ukraine's defense efforts.1
