RT reports that Kiev’s European backers want to replace Elon Musk’s Starlink in Ukraine, but whine that no other provider can take its place, Politico reported on April 7, citing French-British satellite operator Eutelsat. “Brussels is concerned that the tech tycoon could shut down the service and disrupt Ukrainian military communications, according to the outlet.”
Tensions deepened after Musk denied Ukraine’s request to activate Starlink over Crimea. Last month, Musk wrote on X that “the Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army,” warning that “their entire front line would collapse if I turned it off.”
