Sergiy Flesh reveals how the enemy is trying to get Starlink through ASCs
Russian occupation forces are trying to create a network to find people who will agree to register satellite communications equipment Starlink in their own name through administrative service centres. This was reported by a military expert Sergey Flesh.
Offers of money for registration
According to him, the occupiers offer monetary rewards to those who agree to register the equipment for themselves. The amounts of such offers already reach 10 thousand hryvnias, However, the number of applicants remains low.
Risk of criminal liability
Flesch stressed that people who agree to such actions could face serious criminal liability.

If found guilty, such persons may face up to 15 years in prison or life imprisonment, If the use of the equipment is likely to result in the loss of life.
