Musk alleges Ukraine misused Starlink; Ukraine denies, service restored after Trump intervention
Ukraine's defence adviser rejected Elon Musk's allegation that Ukrainian forces used the civilian Starlink service for offensive drone strikes, saying the network's speed limits make such use impossible. Musk had earlier said SpaceX limited Starlink use in Ukraine over alleged terms violations and accused the country of employing the service for attacks.
Former Ukrainian defence-ministry drone advisers countered that only the military-grade Starshield system could be used for offensive missions. SpaceX restored the full Starlink service after President Donald Trump intervened following the temporary restrictions.
