Elon Musk Refuses Ukraine Request to Enable Starlink for Deep Strikes Inside Russia

Ukraine requested expanded Starlink access so drones could be guided for strikes deep inside Russia, particularly against missile-launch targets, according to reporting. The request was raised in talks involving senior U.S. and Ukrainian officials, but Musk refused to permit Starlink use inside Russia. Musk and SpaceX have allowed Starlink for operations in internationally recognized Ukrainian territory (including Crimea) while blocking use within Russia itself. The dispute centers on whether enabling deeper strikes would increase conflict escalation and liability concerns.
