Since the start of the war, SpaceX has donated many Starlink terminals to Ukraine to help keep civilians connected.
Russian forces have reportedly obtained Starlink terminals from the black market and are using them in their war against Ukraine.SpaceX is working with the Pentagon and Kyiv to prevent Russia from using its Starlink terminals. As per reports, Russian forces are illegally using Starlink’s network to aid in its invasion of Ukraine.
Starlink’s main selling point is that it makes high-speed internet more accessible. However, this has caused concerns related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Plump was asked whether Russia’s use of Starlink was illegal under international law, to which he replied, “I don’t know if the right word is illegal, but certainly without licenses and certainly not at the behest of the country in which they are invading, for goodness sake.”
“I’m aware of Ukraine’s concerns, working through it with both Ukraine and Starlink,” Plumb continued, adding that SpaceX is a “great partner” to work with.Plumb’s address to reporters comes at a time when there are increasing concerns that Starlink could be exploited on the global stage.
