Doesn't the United States already have military communication satellites? If they wanted to give network connectivity to Ukranian drones, I'm pretty sure they could have done so as well.

I think it probably has more to do with not wanting to escalate to a direct war against Russia or give them a reason to try to shoot down satellites.
