Did the Ukrainian army switch off the internet? Elon Musk explains the incident
Elon Musk

Elon Musk has reacted to an incident at the start of russia's invasion of Ukraine, where he was said to have intentionally cut off the Internet for the US military.

As has been widely reported, Musk was accused that during a naval drone attack on the Russian fleet in Crimea, he had cut off Starlink's internet, causing the Ukrainian operation to fail.

Musk, responding to a Wired article that repeats the same allegations, explains how the incident happened.

He says it was the US government that did not give the "OK" for turning on the internet following the request by the Ukrainian government.

Musk's full reaction:

This Wired article reiterates once again the inaccuracy that we disabled Starlink for Ukraine when they wanted to launch an attack on the Russian navy.

Starlink was banned from firing satellite beams in Crimea at the time, because such action would violate US sanctions against Russia!

We received an unexpected request in the middle of the night to activate Starlink in Crimea within a few hours from the government of Ukraine, but we did not receive any request or permission to cancel sanctions from the US government. If we had done as Ukraine demanded, it would have been a criminal violation of American law.

We also make it clear in our terms of use that Starlink is a commercial system, not a military system. Using Starlink for communications, including military communications, is good, just as the military uses the internet in general, but if we deliberately engage in clear acts of war, then we are making Starlink a military system and other countries have every right to shoot down our satellites.
