Zelensky Says Starlink Was Cut Off During Russian Attacks

Original: KYIV POST: Zelensky Says Starlink Was Switched Off During Russian Attacks – ‘That’s Their Decision’ https://www. kyivpos

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Starlink service was deliberately switched off during Russian attacks, telling Kyiv Post the outages were SpaceX's decision. He warned that disrupted communications weakened Ukraine's air defences, as troops and civilians rely on the satellite network for coordination and alerts during incoming strikes.

Why now: Claims that Elon Musk's Starlink was restricted during Russian strikes raise fresh concerns over Ukraine's dependence on a private foreign provider for wartime communications.
