Elon Musk stated on Saturday that he was personally responsible for a recent slowdown of the Starlink satellite internet service in Ukraine, which affected the country's military operations.

According to Musk, the intervention occurred because the Ukrainian military allegedly violated the service's terms of service by utilizing it to conduct offensive drone strikes. Musk noted on the social platform X that 'that loophole was closed last week.'

The restriction highlights the critical reliance of Ukraine's military communications on commercial satellite networks and underscores the direct influence private technology executives hold over active conflict zones.
