Ukrainian military using Starlink
CNN recently published an excerpt from a book about Elon Musk, discussing a Ukrainian attack on the Russian fleet. SpaceX's founder allegedly ordered Starlink to be secretly turned off over Crimea to prevent Ukraine's drones from targeting Russian ships.
As mentioned in the book, Musk feared that such actions might lead to the use of nuclear weapons. Musk later justified his actions.
The head of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov, confirmed that Starlink was inactive near Crimea for some time. However, he doubted Elon Musk's direct involvement in this matter.
