Today, we officially addressed the International Telecommunications Union requesting an exclusion of Ukraine's national territory from the declared service areas of all beams of the Russian military satellite system 'Rassvet' satellite networks in all frequency bands.
The relevant note has been passed to ITU Radiocommunication Bureau through our Permanent Mission to the UN Office and other International Organizations in Geneva.
The purpose for Russia to use such satellites over the territory of Ukraine is absolutely clear and it has nothing to do with civilian purposes. Rather, Moscow wants to use them to assist its war effort, murder of people and genocidal crimes.
We call upon all partners to support our position and take all possible steps to block 'Rassvet' from functioning — not only over Ukraine's sovereign territory, but also over other countries' sovereign territories.
We will continue to advance international diplomatic countermeasures against 'Rassvet'. We thank the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Ukrainian State Centre of Radio Frequencies for their swift coordination.
The International Telecommunications Union can't stop frequency bands of Russian satellites or any satellite operating anywhere in orbit.
