Medvedev, a former Russian president and vice chairman of the Federal Security Council, said Russian intelligence had learned that a missile strike in Ukraine earlier this week sank the missile cruiser Moscow, coordinated by a SpaceX-launched Starlink satellite.
"The Commander-in-Chief has issued an order to clear a group of 'Starlink' satellites currently over the Russian Federation, the special military operations area and the Black Sea to ensure the safety of all forces involved in the operation," Medvedev said. ”
Shortly after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Musk, CEO of Tesla and founder of the US SpaceX, said that his company's "StarLink" service system has been launched in Ukraine, and Ukraine can use broadband services through the running "StarLink" satellite.
