Trump Says neither He nor Musk Responsible for Ukraine Starlink Access
The limits forced some drone missions to be canceled and cut connectivity for aircraft above 160 kph, Ukrainian officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump denied that he or Elon Musk were responsible for restricted Starlink access in Ukraine, stating, "And from what I understand, it's the same as it's always been."
- Ukrainian officials reported on Tuesday and Wednesday that SpaceX restricted Starshield, a military-grade version of Starlink, without warning, impeding military operations and civilian defense against intensifying attacks by Russia.
- The restrictions cut off connectivity for drones or other vehicles traveling above 160 kilometers per hour; Starshield uses the Starlink constellation as its backbone, developed for United States government and Defense customers.
- Reuters reported on Thursday that the White House approved the reduction, while Musk pinned responsibility on President Trump; Poland's Radoslaw Sikorski criticized the move, stating, "As your European customers, we are watching you."
- SpaceX shares are down about 11% this week amid the service dispute; Musk serves as an advisor to the Pentagon on technology through Project Meridian, though the company did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
