Ukraine accuses SpaceX of interrupting Starlink terminals, disrupting drone missions
The U.S. has reportedly threatened to cut off intelligence for early warning of missile strikes in an effort to get Kyiv to suspend attacks on Russian oil refineries.
Ukrainian military officials allege that SpaceX interrupted military-grade Starlink terminals, which prevented Kyiv from using them to guide drone strikes.
Serhiy Beskrestnov, adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wrote on Telegram that the country's defense forces didn't receive a warning from SpaceX concerning the interruption, Reuters reported.
Poland pays for Ukrainian Starlink subscriptions on Kyiv's behalf, and Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski asked SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on X about the interruption.
"Hey, @elonmusk, big man, are you playing politics with your products again? As your European customers, we are watching you," Sikorski wrote.
