Musk restricts Ukraine's access to Starshield without Trump's approval

news.mail.ru (Russian) —

Elon Musk unilaterally ordered restrictions on Ukraine's access to the military satellite communications system Starshield, a military counterpart to Starlink, without authorization from U.S. President Donald Trump, according to The Wall Street Journal. The decision was made solely by Musk, with no directive from the White House. Ukrainian presidential adviser Sergey Beskrestnov stated that Starlink speed restrictions undermine Ukraine's defense capabilities. Trump previously denied ordering any suspension of Starshield service in Ukraine, also claiming Musk had not made such a decision and that no order was issued from the White House.
