The White House rejects Elon Musk's claim that the American government or President Donald Trump is behind restricting Ukrainian military access to the Starlink satellite system. The dispute concerns the functioning of the communication technology that Ukrainian forces use during the war with Russia. Independent ↗
Musk stated that decisions about restricting the operation and manner of use of Starshield systems belong to the American armed forces and ultimately to the president. Later, according to reports in the media, he attributed responsibility for slowing down access to Starlink to Trump. TVN24.pl ↗
However, White House representatives denied these claims. According to information published by Axios, the American president's administration claims it has no connection whatsoever to the restrictions on the satellite system's operation in Ukraine. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
Ukrainian units reportedly experienced restricted access to the technology this week. Military officials warn that an outage or slowdown of the service could significantly weaken the Ukrainian army's defensive capabilities. The concerns relate especially to the possible exploitation of the situation by Russian forces on important sections of the front. Welt ↗
According to one of the described scenarios, the restriction may also affect the speed at which Ukrainian assets using Starlink move. The scope and reasons for the intervention remain, for now, a subject of public dispute between Musk and representatives of the American administration. Telex ↗
