On Wednesday, Ukraine accused SpaceX, the company owned by Elon Musk, of restricting the services of its Starlink network, which has severely hindered the use of its military drones. This accusation comes amid escalating tensions between Kyiv and Washington.
Relations between Ukraine and the United States have significantly deteriorated since US President Donald Trump unexpectedly lifted sanctions on Russian diesel last week and publicly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Additionally, Russian missiles struck power plants in attacks described by Zelensky as a “blatant disregard” for Trump, further exacerbating geopolitical tensions.
