Ukraine and SpaceX cooperated to stop Russian drones that were using Starlink connectivity over Ukrainian territory. The Ukraine Ministry of Defense announced a forthcoming requirement for registration and whitelisting of Starlink terminals so that only verified and registered units will be allowed to operate while all others will be disconnected.

SpaceX implemented measures after Ukraine contacted the company, and Elon Musk indicated the steps have worked so far.
