Musk Decision Sparks Panic in Kyiv Amid Ongoing Conflict
Elon Musk has ordered a slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink used by Ukraine, sparking panic in Kyiv and confusion within the Trump administration. The decision, which capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network, has rendered some offensive and interceptor drones virtually useless. This move comes as both Musk and President Trump have expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries, which the president blames for high energy prices. The situation was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
