Starlink access in Ukraine a decision for Musk, not White House, Rubio says
Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported39m ago
On Wednesday in Mumbai, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that decisions regarding Ukraine's access to Starlink rest with Elon Musk and his parent company SpaceX, rather than the White House. Rubio's remarks indicated that Musk may have restricted Kyiv's access to the satellite internet service.
The comments intersect with previous public statements from US President Donald Trump, who asserted that neither he nor Musk was responsible for any slowdowns in Starlink's service in Ukraine. The situation follows prior reporting by The Wall Street Journal regarding limitations on the Ukrainian network.
