Генеральний інспектор Міністерства оборони США відмовився розслідувати нещодавні обмеження в роботі Starlink і Starshield в Україні. — Укрінформ.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by CNN with reference to the agency's letter.
In response, Pentagon Inspector General Platt Moring, in a letter dated Tuesday, noted that senators should contact the Air Force and Space u.S. forces.
On Wednesday, commenting on the inspector's response, Shaheen said it “raises concerns that the inspector general appears to have decided not to investigate the satellite communications outages that Ukraine relies on for protecting its civilian population. ”
Molly Helpern, a spokeswoman for the Office of the Inspector General of the Pentagon, said that the Office “carefully considered the request of Congress and concluded that the issues raised were properly considered by the department.”
“If there is new information, we can reconsider this decision,” she said.
It is noted that earlier this month, a group of nine senators from both parties - led by Republican Tom Tillis and Democrat Gene Shaheen - appealed to the inspector general of the Pentagon to conduct an "immediate investigation” regarding malfunctions of Starshield systems and commercial versions of Starlink in Ukraine.
