US Defense Official Credits Elon Musk's Starlink For Making It Impossible For Putin To Silence Ukraine
https://share.newsbreak.com/19yxx0t4
Elon Musk's SpaceX-owned Starlink came in handy for Ukraine when the Eastern European country's war with Russia left it bereft of internet service. Ukraine sought for Starlink user terminals from Musk, and the latter promptly acceded.
The Starlink satellite internet service has helped Ukraine, both its military and civilians, Politico said in a report. The service prevented Russia's efforts to cut Ukraine off from the outside world, the report added.
Lauding Starlink's role Brigadier General Steve Butow, director of the space portfolio at the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit said, "The strategic impact is, it totally destroyed [Vladimir] Putin's information campaign," Politico said.
