The Ministry of Defense, together with the American company SpaceX, is already solving the problem of using Starlink on Russian drones. Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced this on his Telegram channel, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"A few hours after the appearance of Russian drones with Starlink communication over Ukrainian cities, the Defense Ministry team promptly contacted SpaceX and suggested ways to solve this problem," he said.

Fedorov thanked SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell and Elon Musk for their quick response and the start of work on resolving the situation.

He noted that Musk's decision to urgently turn on Starlink and send the first batch of terminals to Ukraine at the beginning of a full-scale invasion was critical to Ukraine's resilience.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski appealed to American billionaire and SpaceX founder Elon Musk to ban the aggressor state of russia to use Starlinks to strike Ukrainian cities, in response, the American billionaire insulted the Polish diplomat.
