Musk denies Ukraine's claim that SpaceX crippled Starlink for drones

Elon Musk denied Ukraine’s allegation that SpaceX disrupted its military drone operations by restricting access to its Starlink satellite internet service, saying any limits were imposed by the US government. Ukrainian military officials reported Starlink connection drops on high-speed terminals, complicating drone guidance and disrupting several missions, according to presidential adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov. Poland’s foreign minister also criticized Musk, while SpaceX did not immediately respond. The dispute adds to Kyiv-Washington tensions after President Donald Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel and urged Ukraine to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries, with sources suggesting the US threatened to cut intelligence support.
