- Well, this story is about disconnecting Starlink ground terminals that are being used by the Russian military inside of Ukraine.
But, Starlink terminals have GPS in them, surely? Aren't they geofenced anyway?
- They're using them in Ukraine. Can't geofence the country and still allow the Ukrainians to use them.

  You don't need to draw the fence along a national border, but yeah, I guess the front is a bit flexible.
