We don't have full clarity on whether this involves a partial or complete cutoff of intelligence, so it's best not to rush to conclusions.
I assume this will be most problematic for defensive operations, as it may limit Ukraine’s early warning of larger attacks.

Ukrainian targeting operations for long-range strikes will be affected. Time-sensitive targeting against mobile assets at operational & partially strategic depth will likely become more challenging.

What they might need, and Europe could help is the analysts and fine tuned ais to fully exploit the huge amounts of commercial data.
Ukrainian activities in the Black Sea, for example, are likely to be significantly impacted.
The worst would be the US sharing intelligence with the Russians. Anything less than that is a pleasant surprise.
