Two Russian 'Rassvet' satellites, numbered 17 and 23, launched into orbit in July, are reportedly losing altitude. If Russia cannot adjust their orbits, the satellites will burn up in the atmosphere.
The post mentions that these are Russian analogues to Starlink and that if Russia fails to correct their orbits, the satellites will burn up in the atmosphere.
