One right decision doesn't buy absolution
And Elon Musk? His company has just given me another reason to call him a cowardly bastard. This is about the night of October 13–14, 2026. Ukrainian officials reported that SpaceX imposed restrictions on moving Starshield terminals without warning, disrupting combat drone missions. The initially reported cutoff was around 160 km/h; Sternenko later relayed reports of connection losses at 60–70 km/h. This isn't a claim that all Ukrainian Starlink service went dark. It's about restrictions hitting military operations, including strikes against Russian logistics on occupied Ukrainian territory.
