US billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday (March 9) dropped another scathing warning for Kyiv, saying Ukraine’s frontline would crumble if he cut off their access to his Starlink satellite internet constellation.
Musk provided Ukraine with access to SpaceX’s Starlink system shortly after its communications services were destroyed by Russia in 2022. Experts believe Starlink is essential to mount Ukraine’s drone attack and shutdown of the service would be a real setback.

On Sunday, Musk made the remarks while responding to criticism that he was focused on chastising Ukraine but not Russia and its President Vladimir Putin.
