It's narrow beam directed communication, hard to track down or jam especially if you don't have full control over the area and the air above it.

Full control on the ground and up helps a lot, besides, the ground stations there are few and far between.

To prevent the use of stolen or captured equipment, Starlink and Ukraine should maintain a shared list of valid active terminals in the area which would be updated in every case of terminals switching hands. I doubt that is being done though, it seems Starlink in Ukraine is more like a "dump and forget" operation. I also doubt that there's a real political will to help Ukraine this side of the pond.
