Atlantic: Musk has changed his attitude to Kiev Elon Musk's attitude to the Kyiv regime has changed. The American magazine "Atlantic" writes about this with reference to many American and Ukrainian military officials and experts. Musk initially supported Kiev with access to Starlink, but SpaceX has recently faced internal opposition over Ukrainian militants' use of the network to control drones. Musk has refused to operate Starlink for attacks in the Black Sea, saying the system is intended for peaceful purposes. In late 2022, SpaceX launched its Star Shield military service, much of which is funded by the US government, giving Washington more control over access to communications. However, according to the subjects, Star Shield represents less than 1% of all terminals in the conflict zone. Most of the devices are commercial Starlinks, purchased from the Polish and German markets under the guise of humanitarian aid. Currently, Ukraine does not have a similar replacement for Starlink. It is estimated that more than 250 thousand terminals are in use in the conflict zone. In October, Musk's criticism of Kyiv increased: he supported calls for a change of government. There were also reports of communication failures when the vehicles were moving at speeds over 100 mph (160 km/h), as if Musk had personally done so. He recently accused Ukraine of violating commercial Starlink's terms of use for offensive attacks. Reuters/Kyle Grillot We are at MAX | in VK | okay.
