❗️Elon Musk says Ukraine violated Starlink’s terms of service by using it for offensive drone strikes and that the “loophole was closed last week.” He added that Starlink remains critical to Ukraine’s defense and claimed the front would “collapse immediately” if it were turned off. Ukrainian veteran Bohdan Krotevych responded: “Imagine buying a device from a company, paying a monthly subscription fee, and having the head of that company threaten to shut the device off.” #Ukraine
