KYIV POST: Zelensky Says Starlink Was Switched Off During Russian Attacks – ‘That’s Their Decision’ https://www. kyivpost.com/post/87091 Zelensky said Starlink restrictions during Russian attacks were deliberate, warning that disrupted communications weakened Ukraine’s air defenses and cost civilian lives. US lawmakers from both parties condemned…

I suspect the Trump administration. Elon isn't really a loyal person and he sees how unpopular Trump is. I don't expect him to refuse anything from Trump as he doesn't want to be on his bad side again but I doubt he's actively doing things for him. I suspect that if ordered to do something he'll do it but avoid making much noise as he wants…

De kill switch is echt. ‘The restrictions have brought all medium-range strike operations to a complete halt’:

❗️The White House denies involvement in Starlink restrictions in Ukraine, Axios reports. Zelensky advisers contacted the White House, CIA and Pentagon asking whether the restrictions had been ordered. The White House said it does not control SpaceX and promised to contact the company, while US officials blamed a technical malfunction. Service was…

The thing was that Ukraine just used whatever Starlink Terminals they could get their hands on, in a chaotic way with no central inventory or registration. So SpaceX didn't even know which terminals were in use by Ukraine or by Russia. You can't whitelist when you don't know what to whitelist.

Ukrainian officials suspect that Trump ordered Elon Musk to throttle the country's access to military-grade Starlink terminals. The suspicions, which haven’t been confirmed, underscore the extent to which the U.S.-Ukraine relationship has soured in recent weeks as Trump has sought an end to the war.

❗️Ukraine’s Defense Ministry says Starshield is working normally again while in motion, with military units confirming connectivity has been restored. The ministry is still investigating what caused the October 14 restrictions and remains in contact with the US, SpaceX and NATO partners to establish what happened. # Ukraine

EU restricted foreign satellite services access to certain frequencies recently due to bandwidth limitations.. The EU has a starlink type system. Canada's building one. Ukraine's building one. China has one with an odd name and Cuba, Africa and other regions are using part of it.

Alina Pereverzieva 🇺🇦 @perevaa.bsky.social 🇺🇸 The White House denies a role in # Starlink limits in Ukraine, Axios reports. On Oct 14, US officials blamed a glitch, while Kyiv suspected SpaceX was trying to halt its strikes on Russian refineries.

Yup, that is more likely thankfully. However it is quite obvious that while our politicians don’t “stay silent”, we also do very, very little about anything other than voice our objections. I mean hell we still buy Russian gas after 4 years..

Ukrainian troops have been caught off guard by restrictions on Musk’s Starlink satellite systems that disrupted frontline operations, while Kyiv received no warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running.

A Congressman reacts to reports that Star Shield—the military version of Starlink—was throttled during critical operations in Ukraine. After threats were allegedly made to Zelensky regarding Russian oil infrastructure, the tech was disabled. Hear why this is being called 'outrageous and appalling.' # UkraineWar # Starlink # StarShield #…

IF the US manages to get a Democrat admin, they need to take the gloves off, and utilise that precedent set by their Supreme Court, use that Presidential immunity to right the ship and cut out the rot.

🔴 BREAKING Elon Musk Alleges US Government Behind Starlink Restrictions in Ukraine Elon Musk suggested the Trump administration restricted SpaceX's Starlink speeds used by Ukraine, a move President Zelenskyy described as betrayal. This follows a diesel deal and impacts Ukraine's defensive capabilities amid ongoing conflict. 📰 https://www…

As far as I know, you use fuck XYZ to refer to something bad. I just wanted to emphasise that it's not just their government; the people who elected them are equally responsible.

So Trump is fully behind Putin now. Not only is he forming partnerships with him to trade oil, he's now crippling Ukraine on the battlefield so his buddy can take the country. I really think that if Trump could have things his own way, he would divide the world map between America and Russia, like the world is just a gold rush for him to plunder…

~24 hours later, Musk has denied responsibility, says DOD is in charge of StarShield (true, but SpaceX is still the operator, so doesn't really rule out something being done on their end), administration says it wasn't them and their gonna ask SpaceX 🤨 Real chance this ends up being an actual mistake, though it could also be a "mistake" or…

What exactly do you want those cities to do? If there were riots/protests, it doesnt effect anything because those cities by trumps own words would be good targets to bomb.

Nobody has alienated the rest of the USA's erstwhile allies like the current regime. Threaten to annex Greenland? Threaten Canada? It's insane, and recovery is unlikely.
