Ukraine disputes Elon Musk's charge that its forces broke Starlink rules to kill with drone strikes
Elon Musk, whose charge that Ukrainian forces broke Starlink rules to carry out drone strikes has been disputed by Kyiv advisers who say long-standing restrictions made offensive use impossible.Serhii Beskrestnov wrote that Elon Musk's claim was "very strange," given whitelists blocking offensive use had been in place since February.
Serhii Beskrestnov, a defence technology adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky, said long-standing limits on the civilian network made offensive use impossible. "It's very strange that Elon Musk doesn't know about the restrictions," he wrote. Activist Serhii Sternenko said whitelists were brought in back in February. Senator Adam Schiff wants Pete Hegseth to testify, saying "somebody is lying."
Kyiv's Starshield speed restrictions, in place for 10 days, were removed on Saturday.
President Donald Trump maintains he did not make the call to throttle the service.
Musk raged at 'evil warmongers' on X: "May you burn in hell. End of story."
