Elon Musk Confirms Restriction of Starlink Service in Ukraine

In depth

Billionaire Elon Musk confirmed that his company SpaceX deliberately restricted the speed of the Starlink service in Ukraine. According to Arutz Sheva, the restriction was made due to military use to operate drones for attacks, and Musk claimed that the Ukrainian army violated the terms of service and used it to kill people.

According to Bizportal, Zelensky and senior officials in Kyiv confirmed that the speed limit on Starshield terminals, which disconnects drones flying above approximately 160 km/h, remained in effect. According to Israel Hayom, the United States asked Musk several times to activate or disable the service in various countries, according to six former senior American officials.

According to N12, Musk admitted to being behind the move, and Ukraine announced that it had regained speeds that existed before the restrictions.
