U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D. Mass.) pressed the Pentagon to address Russian troops' illicit use of Starlink internet terminals in Ukraine, calling the issue a "serious national security threat" to the U.S. and its allies.

In a letter addressed to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Warren cited a Wall Street Journal investigation that illustrated how a black market of middlemen from the Middle East and elsewhere have funneled the compact satellite dishes into the hands of American adversaries and accused war criminals on the battlefields of Ukraine and Sudan.
