The problem with “taking out satellites over Ukraine” is under the Star link system, the satellites, unlike communication satellites in geosynchronous orbit, do not remain over any point on Earth for more than a few minutes at a time. They would have to take out the entire constellation to silence it. Meanwhile, SpaceX is launching dozens of satellites per launch.

Agree, but there are several ways to take out satellites. What comes to mind here are lasers - does Russia have that capability? Perhaps, who knows...
