Musk Says Full Speed Is Back on Ukraine's Satellite Links, Claims SpaceX "Simply Enforced Our Terms"
SpaceX owner Elon Musk said full speed returned to Ukraine's satellite links on Saturday morning. He said his company closed a gap that, in his words, Ukrainian troops used for drone strikes.
Elon Musk, the owner of the space company SpaceX, said that Ukraine's satellite communication links regained full speed on Saturday morning. The connections are used in Ukraine during the war, including by troops.
Musk explained the company's actions by saying that SpaceX "simply enforced our terms." According to him, the company closed a gap that Ukrainian troops had used to carry out drone strikes.
Earlier explanations
For about 10 days, Musk had blamed Washington for the restrictions. He had previously said that the US government decides such limits. In his latest statement, he cites the enforcement of the company's own terms.
The source gives no further details on what exactly the restrictions were, how they affected communications at the front, or how Ukrainian and US officials have responded to the statement.
