Elon Musk, at the beginning of the full scale war in Ukraine gave the Ukrainians access to Starlink. This allowed the country to continue to communicate with frontlines as the war continued. The program is funded by Musk's SpaceX program. Yet, last fall he requested for help from the US to help fund the program. The President of SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell, stated that the Pentagon was offering to pay for the program, but Musk went to then Twitter, to twist the story.
Current information has come out, to state that Musk is limiting Ukraine's access to Starlink, as he is worried about a larger act of war by Russia. This also comes after Musk has talked to Russian President Putin. Even though Musk's intent for the program at first was good, it no longer seems that it could be that.
