Elon Musk admitted that SpaceX restricted Ukraine's access to Starlink

Elon Musk acknowledged that SpaceX restricted Ukraine's access to Starlink services, impacting military operations against Russian drones. After a week of limitations, Starlink and its military variant, Starshield, resumed normal operations. Musk stated that the restrictions were due to violations of usage terms by the Ukrainian military, which allegedly used the service for offensive drone strikes. Ukrainian officials argued that the limitations hindered their capabilities. Musk emphasized that Starshield is controlled by the U.S. government, denying direct involvement in the restrictions. The Starlink service has been crucial for Ukrainian military communications since the Russian invasion began in February 2022.
