SpaceX chief Elon Musk said Starlink is restricted to civilian or defensive use and cannot be used for offensive military action, which he called inappropriate for a commercial company. Ukrainian officials had said SpaceX limited the speed of terminals used by the military, disrupting some operations.

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.”
