Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican member of the US House of Representatives, warned on 19 October that anyone involved in restricting Ukraine's use of the Starshield programme will be held fully accountable. The restrictions concern the use of the programme by Ukraine's armed forces.

Fitzpatrick belongs to the same party as US President Donald Trump. In its headline, the Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda describes the statement as a threat of consequences directed at the Trump administration over the restrictions.

The available information does not specify who imposed the restrictions, how they are being applied, or what concrete consequences the congressman has in mind. Details on how the restrictions affect the operations of Ukraine's armed forces are also not given in the source.
