Elon Musk on October 25, 2026, accused Ukraine’s military of violating Starlink’s terms of service by using the satellite internet system for offensive drone strikes. He said SpaceX had closed the loophole that allegedly enabled such use. The accusation came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Starlink and its military counterpart, Starshield, had returned to required operating speeds following more than a week of restrictions. The disruption reportedly affected frontline communications, drone operations and logistics. The episode has intensified tensions between Kyiv and Washington amid disagreements over military support and efforts to end the war. (PC: Reuters)
