Ukraine demands the ITU block Russia's Rassvet satellite constellation.
Kyiv has appealed to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to ban the Russian Rassvet satellite constellation from operating over Ukrainian territory. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha announced this, declaring that the system poses a real threat to Ukraine's security.
Today, we officially appealed to the International Telecommunication Union with a request to exclude the national territory of Ukraine from the declared service areas of all beams of the Russian military satellite system "Rassvet" in all frequency ranges.
- Sibiga reported.
He added that the corresponding note was transmitted to the ITU Radiocommunication Bureau through the Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the UN Office and other international organizations in Geneva.
We call on all partners to support our position and take all possible steps to block the operation of Rassvet – not only over the sovereign territory of Ukraine, but also over the sovereign territories of other countries.
– said the head of the Foreign Ministry of the Kyiv regime.
It's worth noting that the launch of Russia's Rassvet satellite constellation has caused genuine panic in Ukraine. Kyiv's military intelligence and relevant experts say Rassvet is being deployed faster than expected. They estimate that the system is already capable of providing several stable periods of communication over Ukraine, although it does not yet provide continuous coverage.
It should be added that the ITU does not have mechanisms to prohibit satellite flights over Ukrainian territory and the reception of signals from them.
