They didn't 'shut off Starlink'
You can look for the elaborate technical explanation but AFAIK they only affected certain movements over a certain speed and they only did it for 1 night.
At best this is a mild threat.
This non-event, which was over before the western mouthpieces even could report on it, IMO is not having 'consequences for disobedience'.
The US could do a lot, fact is they haven't stopped helping them not even for a day despite the theatrics and threats.
They have no reason to.
Musk also made threats before about stopping his service but nothing happened.
The ukros wouldn't even be able to hit all these facilities without the US supplying them with everything. Not just guiding and targeting but the long range missiles themselves.
Which used to be a red line but not anymore since NATO relentlessly insists on escalating further.
So here we disagree, you say it's Ukraine who doesn’t want Russia to sell gas while I say it does absolutely nothing concrete for them.
Only for their masters in the long term. There will not be less bombs or Russian troops because they blow up some infrastructure.
They could've hit military targets. Zelenski may cry about this deal but not because it hurts the war effort.
What's hurt is his ego. His master humiliates him by dealing with the enemy and he has to suck it up like a good little vassal.
Exposing him as a proxy to the world.
