Rubio: No one threatened to cut Ukraine off from Starlink
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that "no one threatened to disconnect Ukraine" from the Starlink satellite network.
He wrote about this on the social network X, Censor.NET reports.
Rubio responded to the publication of his Polish colleague Radoslaw Sikorski, in which he reacted to the threats of billionaire Elon Musk to disconnect the Starlink system for the Armed Forces.
"No one threatened to disconnect Ukraine from Starlink," the head of American diplomacy said.
In his post, Rubio added that without Starlink satellite communications, "Ukraine would have lost the war long ago, and the Russians would be on the border with Poland."
"And say thank you, because without Starlink, Ukraine would have lost this war long ago, and the Russians would be on the border with Poland right now," the head of the State Department wrote.
As a reminder, Elon Musk, an American billionaire and head of the U.S. Government's Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), is convinced that Starlink is key for the Ukrainian Defense Forces, because without it, the front line would collapse.
