Also mentioned in the article is the demand on OneWeb to both guarantee non military usage of their constellation and for the British government to divest (OneWeb went bankrupt a few years ago and the British government rescued it, becoming majority owner). The difference here is that there was a launch about to happen, close to 40 satellites already on the rocket

Right - the question is - if the Russians won't launch it, are they just going to keep the satellites too? I expect the answer is yes.

  Yes. There was information in russian news that the satellites are ”under arrest” because UK is a state ”hostile to Russia” and OneWeb is partly owned by UK.
