Trump on the problems in Ukraine, Musk also spoke. "War mongers"
Donald Trump confirmed discussions with Elon Musk regarding the functionality of Starlink in Ukraine. Musk admitted to previously imposing restrictions due to alleged violations by the Ukrainian military. He criticized 'war hawks' for prolonging the conflict, asserting that Starlink is vital for Ukraine's defense. Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that the network is operational as before. Musk claimed that the Ukrainian military misused Starlink for offensive drone attacks, which led to the restrictions. A former advisor disputed Musk's claims, stating that military operations required the Starshield version, not civilian Starlink. Musk expressed disdain for Ukrainian elites advocating for continued warfare.
