WorldStarlink restrictions ‘no surprise’ after Musk condemned Ukraine strikes on Russian data centres

Analysts and observers say reported limits on Ukraine’s use of Starlink have exposed Kyiv’s dependence on the US satellite internet system for both offensive and defensive operations against Russia’s invasion. University of Bath professor David Galbreath said giving a private company such influence over combat operations was bound to be challenging. He said throttling Starlink was no surprise after SpaceX chief Elon Musk called Ukrainian drone targeting of Russian data services “a step too far.”
