Elon Musk has denied claims made by Ukrainian military intelligence that Russia is using SpaceX's Starlink satellites in the ongoing war. Musk stated that no Starlink terminals have been sold to Russia, and clarified that the Starlink network will not connect to devices in Russia. However, it remains unclear if the technology could be used in Ukrainian regions occupied by Russia. Analysts suggest that Russian soldiers may have obtained Starlink equipment from Ukrainian soldiers during battles. Russia has been attempting to disrupt Ukraine's access to Starlink for communication purposes.
