Withholding of Starlink over Crimea

Starlink terminals connect to SpaceX satellites in orbit and have been crucial for maintaining internet connectivity and communication in Ukraine as the conflict has disrupted the country infrastructure. SpaceX, in which Mr Musk is the largest shareholder, began providing thousands of Starlink satellite dishes to Ukraine shortly after Russia launched its full-scale assault on its neighbour in February last year. Russia illegally annexed Crimea in 2014, eight years before Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
