How can they sleep at night?

I was appalled by the company’s statement about cutting off Ukrainian access - totally devoid of empathy. People are telling them what they think and rightly so: https://www.linkedin.com/company/maxar-technologies-ltd?trk=feed-detail_main-feed-card_feed-actor-name

Ukrainian media report that the American company Maxar Technologies is blocking access to satellite images. A call for honest reviews on Google Maps. #Ukraine #Maxar #SatelliteImagery

Kyiv has relied on high-resolution satellite images for defense and strategic planning, tracking Russian troop movements, assessing battlefield conditions & monitoring Russian infrastructure damage. The alleged move follows the U.S. decision to halt intelligence sharing with Ukraine, a shift

confirmed by CIA Director John Ratcliffe on March 5. According to Militarnyi, the restriction was imposed under an order from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, with the State Department allegedly prohibiting U.S. companies from providing satellite data to Ukraine. /3

profjacob.bsky.social•24 days ago

The Kyiv Independent was unable to verify the claims and has contacted Maxar Technologies for confirmation but has yet to receive a response. Ukraine's cyber community Cyberboroshno also reported the restriction, claiming that free access to satellite reconnaissance had been cut off. /4

"According to our information, at least private companies can buy already ordered (satellite) images through the provider," Cyberboroshno wrote on Telegram. US has also frozen military aid to Kyiv as part of a broader effort to pressure President Volodymyr Zelensky into peace talks with Russia. /5

After each new order from US President Trump, I think it can't get any worse. And yet here we are. 🤬
How low can you go, USA?

jasonroberts3114.bsky.social•23 days ago

And now every European defence force is doing a stocktake of any US based suppliers or where US digital capabilities are a key enabler, & looking at alternative non-US suppliers to ensure they can’t be blackmailed at will by a rogue POTUS. Way to go Trump & spineless/sycophantic US companies. 🙄

We have to now accept that European countries and the US are on opposite sides in the Russian occupation of Ukraine

Unthinkable only weeks ago
