Elon Musk says Ukraine violated Starlink terms by using it for offensive drone strikes

Ukrainian forces violated Starlink's terms of use by employing the system for offensive drone strikes, and this 'loophole' was closed last week, Elon Musk said. "Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone attacks aimed at killing people has never been and should never be permitted," he stated. Musk emphasized that if Starlink access were cut off from Kyiv, Ukraine's front line would immediately collapse, "and that is a fact." The entrepreneur added that the Starshield system is controlled by the U.S. government, and "what they decide to do is up to them."
