Elon Musk Cites Terms of Service Violations for SpaceX Starlink Restrictions in Ukraine
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has clarified that the company restricted high-speed access to its Starlink and Starshield satellite services in Ukraine because the Ukrainian military violated terms of service by using the technology for offensive drone strikes. While Musk initially suggested U.S. government involvement, he later stated a 'loophole' regarding these offensive uses was closed last week. Following reports of connectivity issues that disrupted drone operations and weakened defense capabilities against Russian attacks, Ukraine's Ministry of Defense confirmed that high-speed service has been restored for equipment moving at speeds exceeding 400 km/h. The situation drew political attention, with President Donald Trump confirming he had spoken to Musk regarding the easing of these restrictions.
