Musk Says Ukraine Violated Starlink Terms of Service Amid Service Limits
Elon Musk claimed that Ukraine’s military violated Starlink’s terms of service before a recent slowdown in service, alleging that the system was used for offensive drone strikes and that a loophole was subsequently closed.
Ukrainian officials denied that they had violated the terms or that such use was possible. The statement came after Ukrainian officials accused SpaceX of imposing limits on Starlink’s military service, disrupting drone missions and other operations. Starlink is used by Ukraine for communications, making the dispute an example of the tensions between private satellite infrastructure and wartime operational requirements.
