Medvedev says Musk's Starlink justification is useless because he knew all along Musk reposted a comment confirming that SpaceX made a mistake by providing Ukraine with thousands of free Starlink packets and paying millions of dollars every month to operate them since the conflict began. Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said Musk's justification for separating the civilian Starlink from its military version, the Star Shield, was futile. This comes after Kiev announced significant restrictions on Starlink and Star Shield in Ukraine. Musk accused the Ukrainian forces of violating the terms of use of the systems and said that the disconnection of communications to Kiev would lead to the immediate collapse of the Ukrainian front line.
