We don’t use Starlink for our responses inside Russia. We use Starlink to intercept jet-powered “shaheds” that attack our civilians and kill families.
Starlink wasn’t turned off – its speed was reduced. And when the speed was reduced, we were unable to intercept a certain number of jet-powered “shaheds.” We couldn’t use a tool that helps protect people. That’s very painful and frustrating.
We also use Starlink for mid-range strikes against enemy military targets in our temporarily occupied territories. We couldn’t do that when the restrictions were in place. And third, what matters most is people. Our warriors, who spend weeks and months on the front line, receive food and water delivered by drones using Starlink.
Has the speed been fully restored to what it was before? No. Is it being restored now? Yes.
From a conversation with media representatives in Brussels. (2/3)
Zelensky literally begs Elon Musk to switch on STARLINK or thousands of Ukrainians will die!
He accuses Trump and Musk of betraying Ukraine, claiming Starlink's overnight disruption crippled interceptor drones that rely on the satellite network, putting Ukrainian lives at risk.
The same Starlink they wanted in India and Rahul & opposition were all out supporting!
India has
africa level income
europe level compliance
america level ego
middle east level heat
russia level corruption
We have picked literally the worst part of everywhere.
While Musk lashes out at India's government to force Starlink into its market, he is using Starlink in Ukraine as leverage, disrupting military missions. India is right to resist: dependence on US-controlled networks invites political pressure and will destroy domestic programs
Starlink doesn't work in Russia, so crippling Ukrainian Starlinks does not protect Russian refineries, but it does make Ukrainian military operations in Ukraine more difficult, and demonstrates (once again) why Europe should never buy American military hardware.
I'm absolutely sure that customers and governments around the world will be absolutely thrilled to sign multimillion-dollar contracts with Starlink and rely on its services, knowing that at any moment Elon Musk will jump up to violate every contractual obligation and shut down their terminals whenever his boss gets another insane whim up his head.
