Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.
As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.
In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.
In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.
We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.
WATCH: Why did the FBI not seriously investigate who constructed the infamous “gallows.” Now the most famous picture from January 6. Repost this video to help me crowdsource the identity of the gang of five who rolled a stack of lumber down prominent streets on Capitol Hill before sunrise that day, and then returned to install the noose at almost exactly the same time as violence started. #january6 #j6 #gallows
It appears the Russian Storm-1516 narrative laundering campaign has finally come for the U.S. midterms.
Yesterday they placed a false story on X saying James Talarico sexually assaulted one of his students in 2012.
This follows the Russian playbook. Let me show you how.

Nobody wants to own up to crippling Ukraine's military communications: Marco Rubio is now stating that SpaceX has the ability to modify the operation of Starshield without the direction or consent of the American government.
Of course, we are not losing this war. But we are losing people. Because of the Russian attacks, we're losing people and time. It's such a pity, because our children don't have a real life and childhood. Not only children, but all people. That's why we need to end this war as quickly as possible. I hope that our partners, Americans and Europeans, will help us. God bless, our strong soldiers stay strong on the battlefield. It helps me stay strong during any kind of negotiations.
🚨 The whole world needs to hear these words from Zelenskyy:
“Of course, we are not losing this war, but we are losing people and time. And it's heartbreaking, because our children don't have a normal life, they don't have a childhood,” says the Ukrainian president, whose country is now experiencing something that feels very much like betrayal.
