    Ukraine Violated Starlink Terms, Musk Closes Loophole

    Elon Musk revealed that the Ukrainian military violated the terms of use of Starlink by employing it for drone strikes aimed at killing people. This loophole was closed last week. Musk emphasized that Starlink remains critical for Ukraine's defense, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or destroyed. If Starlink were turned off, the Ukrainian front would collapse immediately, Musk stated, noting that this is a factual conclusion, not a threat. Starlink also played a crucial role in preventing Russia from capturing Ukraine in the early days of the war. Musk expressed contempt for 'hypocritical, evil instigators of war' who advocate for endless fighting without proposing realistic solutions.
