Mask delays Starshield in Ukraine and Rubio denies prior US awareness
The Wall Street Journal reported that last week, Elon Musk ordered a slowdown of the military version of the Starlink service approved in Ukraine, known as Starshield, for reasons that remain unclear. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that Washington was not previously aware of this slowdown and that the decision was made by a private company, adding that Trump does not manage or direct SpaceX. Restrictions on Starshield have hindered Ukraine's defensive attacks against Russia. Trump and Musk discussed the decision in a phone call after the slowdown was announced, though both denied responsibility for any shortcomings in supporting Ukraine.
