Musk says steps to stop Russia from using Starlink have worked

Elon Musk said on Sunday that ‌steps SpaceX had taken to stop the 'unauthorized' use of Starlink ⁠by Russia seemed to have worked. "Looks like the steps we took to stop the ​unauthorized use of Starlink by Russia have ‍worked. Let us know if more needs to be done," SpaceX CEO Musk said ⁠on ‌X.

Ukrainian defence ⁠minister Mykhailo Fedorov said on Thursday that Ukraine ‍is working with SpaceX to stop ​Russia from guiding drones using Starlink's internet ⁠system, after Kyiv said it had found it on ⁠long-range drones used in Russian attacks. "Western technology must continue to ⁠help the democratic world and protect civilians, rather ⁠than ‌being used for terrorism and destroying peaceful cities," Fedorov said on ⁠X.
