Elon Musk's SpaceX said it can no longer pay for Starlink in Ukraine, which has become a critical satellite service apparatus as the country fights to fend off a Russian invasion, in a request to the Pentagon to take over funding the endeavor.

To continue operations, the company asked for tens of millions in subsidies from the Pentagon monthly, according to a letter obtained by CNN. SpaceX argued that the financial strain for continuing operations, as well as replacing destroyed units and fulfilling further requests from Ukraine's government, was unsustainable for the company.

We are not in a position to further donate terminals to Ukraine, or fund the existing terminals for an indefinite period of time,” SpaceX’s director of government sales wrote to the Pentagon.


Ukrainian forces are heavily reliant on Starlink as their only means of secure communication, as well as for operating drones. A person familiar with the matter went so far as to say, “Ukraine knows that its current government and wartime efforts are totally dependent on Starlink.”

“The decision to keep Starlink running or not rests entirely in the hands of one man. That’s Elon Musk. He hasn’t been elected, no one decided to give him that power. He has it because of the technology and the company he built," he added.

The letter also revealed further information about the internal finances of Starlink in Ukraine. It states that about 85% of the 20,000 terminals in Ukraine were paid for, partially or in full, by the U.S. government, other foreign governments, and other external entities. This contradicts Musk's claim on Twitter that external entities only paid for a "small percentage" of the terminals.

Don’t Ukrainians said they don’t need his help for suggesting a peace deal with Russia, just like Marcon said France will not go to war with Russia even if Russia nuke Ukraine as France nukes are only to protect France.

The most dangerous plane in Ukraine today is the plane that does not carrie a single weapon.
Tu-214R. Electronic reconnaissance is what buried the Syrian rebels - and if this chaotic supplies of AA systems continues it will most likely be the end of the Ukraine as well.
Russia military even called it Tu-214R-“ The eye of Sauron” because Ukrainians are calling Russia troops “ Orks” .
Lord of the Rings
So, who is Frodo? Sam?
The name calling no be here

Musk offered Resolution to Ukrainian president, but Zelensky, The United States and most Western governments explicit ideological notions won't allow it.

Starlink is no game changer in any war. It is all propaganda. Russia hit anywhere they want to and Ukraine strikes are all propaganda. All their strikes misses the target. Rubbish western media hype the bullshit all over the world. The US. should get involve directly in the war, I want to check something. All their shithole cities will be razed to the ground

The Russians killed killed most of Ukrainian internet and military installations in the beginning of the war. They are heavily relying on starlink for communication and to control their drones. Without that internet, they are further weakened.
