In its defense against the Russian invasion, the Ukrainian military has relied on satellite images provided by its partners. But the US aerospace company Maxar Technologies has restricted Ukraine’s access to its commercial satellite imagery that has been tasked and collected by the US government. The company said that the decision does not impact other non-US government Maxar programs.
Kyiv has been using the high-resolution satellite imagery for defense and strategic planning, tracking Russian troop movements, assessing battlefield conditions and monitoring Russian infrastructure damage. The alleged move follows the US decision to stop intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
