Elon Musk denied a Ukrainian request to enable the use of Starlink in Russian-occupied Crimea. Musk told political analyst Ian Bremmer he fears a Ukrainian offensive could start a nuclear war. The SpaceX CEO denied that he recently spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as Bremmer claims. Following Russia's February invasion of Ukraine, Musk — and the US government — provided Kyiv with thousands of Starlink systems, enabling Ukrainian forces to communicate in what were previously dead zones.
