But Elon Musk denied the claims, writing online: “The Starlink regions in question were not activated. SpaceX did not deactivate anything,” he wrote. “Both sides should agree to a truce. Every day that passes, more Ukrainian and Russian youth die to gain and lose small pieces of land, with borders barely changing. This is not worth their lives.”
Musk added: “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”Starlink has allowed Ukrainians to have uninterrupted and secure internet access amid Russia’s strikes on civilian targets.According to the book, when Musk switched off the internet, the drones which were laden with explosives ‘lost connectivity and washed ashore harmlessly.
In the wake of the attempted attack, Ukraine army chief Valery Zaluzhnyi said it was ‘concerning’ that Elon Musk’s involvement was hindering their military efforts.
