Elon Musk says 'unauthorised' Russian use of satellite-based Starlink internet stopped

Feb 1, 2026
Elon Musk said on Sunday that moves by his SpaceX company ⁠to stop the 'unauthorized' use by Russia of its internet system Starlink seemed to have worked, while Kyiv's defence chief said officials were working ​on ways to prevent any future use by Moscow. Kyiv's ‍military relies on tens of thousands of satellite-based Starlink internet connections for battlefield communication and ​for piloting some drone missions, but said this week it ​had found Starlink terminals on long-range drones used in Russian attacks.
