The European Commission is advancing five measures to reduce reliance on Starlink, including reserving satellite spectrum for EU operators, backing a merger of Airbus, Leonardo and Thales to create a rival, and accelerating the IRIS² satellite constellation. The moves follow concerns over Ukraine’s wartime dependence on Starlink and geopolitical risks of non-European space infrastructure. Politico reports. **(POLITICO)**
