According to information from various sources, Maxar Technologies (USA) has stopped providing Ukraine with access to its satellite images, which were actively used for military purposes.
The publication "Military" reports this with reference to several commercial users who received a disconnection message with the wording "administrative request". Experts suggest that this is due to recent US restrictions on the provision of intelligence data to Ukraine. It is important to note that these restrictions now apply not only to state structures, but also to commercial companies.
Meanwhile, the Cyber Bread community confirmed in its Telegram channel that free access to satellite photos has been discontinued, although specific services were not named. According to them, private companies can still purchase previously ordered images through the provider.
This satellite data was critically important for Ukraine, as it allowed it to track the movements of enemy troops at the tactical level and monitor activity at facilities of operational and strategic importance. Maxar images also helped to clarify the location of strategic Russian facilities on its territory.
