SpaceX has limited Ukraine's ability to use its satellite internet service for military purposes - after reports that Kyiv has used it to control drones.

Early in the war, Ukraine was given thousands of SpaceX Starlink dishes - which connect to satellites and help people stay connected to the internet.

But it is also said to have used the tech to target Russian positions - breaking policies set out by SpaceX.
------------------------

At the same time, Western media report that large quantities of Western computer chips are still found in destroyed Russian equipment of recent production dates, while German companies are considered to be one of the main players in undermining the sanctions - although not the only ones. Businesses in other countries also refuse to comply with the sanctions.
There were times when this would have been considered treason and punished accordingly.
