Because it's not true, unless they are operating devices stolen from ukranian forces in "ukranian" territory, which becomes funnily enough, ukraines own fault.
Had they not demanded use of starlink be allowed for military action, against SpaceX/Elon's wishes, or had they not publicly guilt tripped him into providing the service at no cost, the devices would be useless in that territory.
I assume that terminals are authenticated, and stolen/diverted terminals can be disabled, so outside willful negligence or failure to report stolen/diverted terminals, it seems like it should be obvious who is accessing their modern communication network.
