Businessman Elon Musk, whose company operates the Starlink satellite communications system, has publicly warned that using it for military purposes could spark a war in space, according to the Ukrainian outlet Euromaidan Press.

The warning came a few weeks after Musk's company throttled the Starshield service, which Ukraine's drones rely on.

Ukraine's former head of disinformation countering is sceptical of Musk's remarks. He says the businessman is building an alibi for himself following the Starshield scandal.

The source text is very brief, and further details, such as the extent of the throttling, its exact timing and its effect on the front line, are not given.
