Musk disabled the Ukrainians’ Starlink and stopped the attack on Russian ships. Ukraine comments

The station, citing an unpublished biography written by journalist Walter Isaacson, reports that last year Ukraine wanted to attack the Russian navy in the Crimea with the help of underwater drones equipped with explosives. As Isaacson writes, the Ukrainian drones, when they approached the Russian ships, unexpectedly lost communication and were washed ashore by the sea.

Elon Musk turned off the Starlink network

Musk’s decision to shut down the network was prompted by fears that Russia would respond to a Ukraine nuclear attack, CNN reported, citing a book by Walter Isaacson due to be published on September 12. The American billionaire, before making a decision, was supposed to talk about this with Russian officials. Elon Musk in an interview with Isaacson emphasized that he did not want to get involved in . “Starlink was supposed to allow people to watch Netflix, relax, use the internet at school,” he said.

The billionaire then had a telephone conversation with US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and the Russian Ambassador to the US. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov allegedly asked Musk to reconnect the drones to the Starlink network. However, he refused, according to CNN.

Ukraine comments on Elon Musk’s decision. “Why are some people so eager to defend war criminals?”

The case was commented on by the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev. “Walter Isaacson, author and journalist, in his biography of Elon Musk, writes that last year the businessman turned off Starlink to prevent Ukraine from attacking the Russian navy stationed in Crimea. He feared a retaliatory nuclear attack. If what Isaacson wrote in his book is true, it looks like Musk is the last sane mind in North America. Or at least the only one in gender-neutral America who has balls,” X (former Twitter) reads.

Mykhailo Podolak, an adviser to the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, also posted his comment on last year’s decision by Elon Musk. “Sometimes a mistake is much more than a mistake. By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy parts of the Russian navy by interfering with Starlink, Elon Musk allowed that fleet to launch Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities. As a result, civilians, children are dying. This is the price of a mix of ignorance and a big ego. But the question still remains: why are some people so eager to defend war criminals and their willingness to murder? And do they now realize that they are doing evil and supporting it?” – we read.
