The technology group Maxar from the USA has blocked Ukraine access to its satellite images. The US government has decided to temporarily block the Ukrainian access to the Global Enhanced Geoint Delivery satellite.
This was announced by the US company of the German Press Agency.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Authority for Geographical Enlightenment (National Geospatial Intelligence Agency), which is responsible for the satellite image service, confirmed the suspension of the German Press Agency.
Previously, several users had confirmed the access closure to the Ukrainian military blog “Militarnyj” on the condition of remaining anonymous. This concerns both the government accounts and private entries. According to “Militarny”, the background is the preliminary stop of secret service information to Kiev by the United States.
After the scandal at a meeting with the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj in the White House, the US government also initially exposed the provision of intelligence information in addition to stopping their military aid.
Maxar described “militarnyj” as a possibly leading provider of commercial satellite images for users in Ukraine when it comes to movement of Russian troops or the consequences of damage to important objects in both the occupied areas and in Russia.
Eutelsat share is in focus
In this way, shares of Eutelsat are increasingly in focus. The OneWeb systems from Eutelsat are considered the leading European alternative in the field of satellite communication. According to Starlink, the company based in Paris operates the second largest portfolio of satellites in the area close to the earth. According to Reuters, Antoine Lebourgeois, analyst at Bryan Garnier, indicates that this extensive stock will probably reflect the optimism that European governments and the military will increase their demand for OneWeb as a replacement for Starlink.
