Ukraine says Russian forces are using Starlink in parts of Ukraine it controls
Moscow, Russia:
The Kremlin said on Monday that Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet system has neither been certified for use in Russia nor officially supplied to Russia and therefore cannot be used.
Ukraine, which has been using Starlink for military communications during its conflict with Russia, said on Sunday that Russian forces were using Starlink in parts of Ukraine it controls.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: “This is not a system that we have certified; therefore, it cannot be officially supplied here, nor is it officially supplied. Therefore, it cannot be used in any way official use.”
“That’s why here, maybe we shouldn’t get involved in the discussions between the Kiev regime and entrepreneur Musk,” he said, referring to the Ukrainian government.
Ukraine’s Defense Ministry Intelligence Service said in a statement on Sunday that Starlink terminals are being used by units such as Russia’s 83rd Air Assault Brigade, which is operating in Krischivka and Andrivka in the eastern Donetsk region. Fighting near the town.
“To our knowledge, there has been no Starlink sale to Russia, either directly or indirectly,” Musk posted on X on Sunday.
“Many fake news reports claim that SpaceX is selling Starlink terminals to Russia,” Musk said in a post on X, which he also owns. “This is absolutely wrong.”
