Elon Musk, who has been providing communications support to Ukraine during the war, announced that he would not cut off Starlink service.
On Sunday, Musk wrote on X, stating, “To be extremely clear, no matter how much I disagree with the Ukraine policy, Starlink will never turn off its terminals.”
He emphasized that without Starlink, Russia could jam all other communications in Ukraine, adding that the Ukrainian front lines would completely collapse.
Musk stated, “We would never do such a thing or use it as a bargaining chip.”
Musk is known to be an influential figure in Trump’s second administration and has criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, aligning with President Donald Trump’s stance of pressuring for an end to the war.
President Trump has been halting military aid to Ukraine while engaging in dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an effort to negotiate a ceasefire.
