The head of SpaceX, Elon Musk, commented on the scandal that arose through his refusal to support the military operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2022 against the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the occupied Crimea.
On the social network X (formerly Twitter) he clarified that he did not turn off Starlink satellite communications for kamikaze drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Black Sea, but refused to turn it on there at the request of Ukraine.
It was then that the Russians captured intact copies of Ukrainian aquadrones, which washed ashore for an unknown reason.
In the microblog of businessman Mario Novfal, Musk noted that “there was an emergency request from government agencies [of Ukraine] to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol.” However, he refused to go to Kyiv due to fears of “escalation of the conflict.”
