A new biography of tech billionaire Elon Musk states that last year, Musk “secretly told his engineers” to disable Starlink satellite coverage in a Ukrainian region, stifling a planned Ukrainian attack on a Russian fleet. Ukrainian forces were reportedly planning to use submarine drones equipped with explosives to attack docked Russian ships at a naval base in Russian-occupied Crimea.
Ukrainian forces rely on Starlink, one of Musk’s companies, to operate the drones. The biography states that “when the Ukrainian drone subs got near the Russian fleet in Sevastopol, they lost connectivity and washed ashore harmlessly.”, “There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol. The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor.
