Elon Musk: "If I turn off Starlink, the Ukrainian front will face a crisis"

American billionaire Elon Musk called the Starlink system the mainstay of the Ukrainian army and stressed that if access to this system is blocked, the entire front line of the Ukrainian armed forces will face a crisis.

Musk expressed his thoughts on the social network. According to him, Starlink is a means of communication on the front line of the Ukrainian army, and turning it off will have a significant impact on their military operations. Musk wrote: “My Starlink system is the mainstay of the Ukrainian army. If I turn it off, their entire front line will face a crisis.”

Musk also referred to the long-running bloodshed in Ukraine in his comments. He also said that the ongoing war for Ukraine will end in defeat, stressing that it is very sad: "I hate the bloodshed that has been going on for several years and this war that will end in defeat for Ukraine. A person who really cares, thinks and understands wants to stop this massacre."

It is known that Ukrainian military units rely mainly on the Starlink system for communication in combat zones. This system has played an important role in the military operations of the Ukrainian army.

Also, on February 22, Reuters reported, citing sources, that the United States is considering restricting access to Starlink in Ukraine. Elon Musk called this information false and reiterated his position.

In addition, the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Rustem Umerov, said that there is an alternative to Starlink in the country.

This situation could seriously affect Ukraine's military operations and its strategic choices. Musk's ideas also lead to greater attention being paid to connectivity and global geopolitics. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
