Musk Slows Ukraine’s Access to Military Satellite Network

US entrepreneur and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has reportedly ordered restrictions on Ukraine’s access to the Starshield military satellite communications system.

Musk and US President Donald Trump had expressed dissatisfaction in recent weeks over Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries, according to DW.

Last week, Musk reportedly reduced Ukraine’s data transmission speeds, leaving a number of Ukrainian attack drones and interceptor drones effectively unusable.

Musk made the decision unilaterally, without instructions from Trump.
