Volodymyr Zelensky’s top aide has slammed SpaceX CEO Elon Musk for
shutting off Starlink’s satellite network over Crimea to aid Russia by thwarting a Ukrainian attack.
A new biography claims Elon Musk ordered SpaceX engineers to cut off
Ukrainian access to Starlink satellites near the Crimean coast to
prevent a surprise drone attack on Russian warships.
The billionaire told the author that he feared a strike on occupied
Crimea would amount to a “mini-Pearl Harbour” and lead to a Russian
nuclear retaliation, Mr Isaacson writes.
“Sometimes a mistake is much more than just a mistake. By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military fleet via
Starlink interference, Elon Musk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr
missiles at Ukrainian cities,” Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Mr Zelensky’s office said.
“As a result, civilians, children are being killed. This is the price of
a cocktail of ignorance and big ego.”

Mr Pedolyak is spot on. Will the Ukraine Spetsnaz retaliate?
