U.S. Halts Ukraine's Access to Key Satellite Imagery

The suspension follows a broader freeze on military aid and intelligence sharing after tensions in a meeting between U.S. and Ukrainian leaders.

The U.S. government has temporarily blocked Ukraine's access to Maxar's satellite imagery service, Global Enhanced Geoint Delivery, used for military reconnaissance.
The decision also includes suspending intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine, reportedly after a tense meeting between President Biden and President Zelensky in Washington.
The suspension affects both government and private accounts in Ukraine that relied on the imagery to monitor Russian troop movements and assess damage to infrastructure.
Maxar Technologies is a leading provider of commercial satellite imagery and has played a critical role in Ukraine's military strategy since the war began.
U.S. officials have not disclosed the specific reasons for the suspension, but the move represents a significant shift in U.S. support for Ukraine's defense efforts.
