“Immediate requirements were met and there was no need for MDA Space to seek an extension to the authorization.”
This may answer the question. The need for more of their sat photos was no longer required. Whether that means Ukraine was relying on other intel that may have been better/easier to access/etc… who knows?
But it seems like they could have requested ongoing authorization, if the need was there.
