WSJ: Musk behind Starlink restrictions for Ukraine

Elon Musk reportedly ordered restrictions on Ukraine's access to the Starlink satellite network, causing panic in Kyiv and confusion within the Trump administration. This limitation affected drone operations, making them slower and more vulnerable. Musk and Trump allegedly discussed the intervention beforehand, but both publicly denied involvement, stating only the U.S. military or Trump could make such decisions. Ukrainian President Zelensky criticized the U.S. and Trump for recent actions perceived as betrayal, including a diesel deal with Russia and lifting sanctions. Zelensky expressed that the U.S. approach felt like treachery, especially as Russian attacks on Ukraine intensified. U.S. envoy Witkoff is set to travel to St. Petersburg with proposals to end the ongoing war, which began with Russia's invasion in February 2022.
