I don't know if it is part of the official report or not, but I'd bet that Starlink cutting off service in Ukraine to prevent them from launching an attack on Russian vessels in Crimea definitely played a part in this decision.
- belltaco 3y agoStarlink only cut off service in the occupied parts of Ukraine because you don't want Russia using Starlink there. The Ukrainian forces say Starlink has and is continuing to help them. > Starlink in use on ‘all front lines,’ Ukraine spy chief says > “They have proven themselves on the front lines. You can say what you want about whether [Starlink systems] are good or bad, but facts are facts. Absolutely all front lines are using them,” Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Main Ukrainian Intelligence Directorate, said Saturday, according to Interfax Ukraine. https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/10/europe/ukraine-starlink-not-active-crimea-intl-hnk/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/10/europe/ukraine-starlink-not-a... Crimea is under occupied territory and didn't have Starlink activated, so it's wrong to say they deacivated it.

- literalAardvark 3y agoI doubt Starlink make any military related decisions. They have a framework from the US government that they follow and that's that. Musk can't just randomly decide to give Ukraine access to Starlink on Russian territory without severe consequences, and this fcc bullshit isn't that.
