Starlink outage disrupts Ukrainian drone operations amid blame game

Original: And there is the # Starlink situation. Starlink cut off Ukraine, impacting their # drone operations. The # US govt said

Starlink connectivity to Ukraine was cut off, disrupting Ukrainian drone operations, with the US government blaming Elon Musk and Musk blaming the US government. Reports suggest Starlink service has since been restored. Commenters dispute both accounts, arguing the public blame game distracts from cooperation between government and corporate interests, and the exact cause of the outage remains contested.

Why now: The outage and conflicting US-Musk blame statements are fresh, consequential news for the Ukraine war effort.
