Elon Musk says SpaceX restricted Ukraine’s access to its Starlink satellite internet service after accusing the country of breaching the network’s terms of service through military use. The connection has since been restored.
The dispute centres on Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite communications network, which provides internet connectivity in areas where conventional infrastructure may be unavailable or disrupted. Musk said Ukraine’s use of the service for military activity violated the conditions under which access was provided.
SpaceX’s reported restriction affected Ukraine’s connection to the network, although the source material does not specify when the limitation was imposed, how long it lasted or what areas were affected. It also does not give further details about the alleged military use or the terms cited by Musk.
The service has now been restored, according to Musk. No further response from the Ukrainian authorities or additional details about the restoration are provided in the available material.
