One of the publication&#8217;s sources claims that the American president supported the businessman&#8217;s proposal.<\/p>\n<p> This paved the way for the Pentagon to introduce speed restrictions on Starshield, the military&#8217;s version of a satellite communications system.<\/p>\n<p> On Wednesday, October 14, Musk denied responsibility for restricting access to Starlink, placing the blame on the White House.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Any speed or usage restrictions were determined by the US military and ultimately by the President of the United States,&#8221; Musk said.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, after the nightly events in Kyiv, which were called a &#8220;night of bloodshed&#8221; amid power outages, a high-ranking source reported that Musk was concerned about a possible negative reaction from European consumers.<\/p>\n<p> The journalists do not cite Musk&#8217;s public statement in the material that would confirm his initiative to limit the work of Starlink. The information about his proposal and Trump&#8217;s consent is based on the publication&#8217;s sources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/i-don-t-know-who-gave-the-order-trump-denied-us-involvement-in-restricting-starlink-operations-in-ukraine\/\">\u201cI don\u2019t know who gave the order\u201d: Trump denied US involvement in restricting Starlink operations in Ukraine<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\nAs is known, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/cherez-problemy-zi-starlink-zsu-skasuvaly-chastynu-misiy-viyskovi-rozpovily-pro-naslidky\/\">on the night of October 14, the Ukrainian military recorded restrictions in the operation of the Starlink satellite communication, in particular the Starshield system.<\/a> Due to communication disruptions, it became more difficult for the Defense Forces to control drones, and some combat missions had to be canceled.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/u-minoborony-povidomyly-pro-vidnovlennia-roboty-starshield\/\">The Ministry of Defense later reported that the operation of the Starshield satellite communication system in motion has resumed and is gradually improving.<\/a> The defense department continues to investigate the reasons for the restrictions that arose the day before and is checking the speed of the system at the front.<\/p>\n<p> However, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/bilyy-dim-zaperechuie-prychetnist-do-obmezhen-starlink-v-ukraini-u-ssha-zvernutsia-do-spacex\/\">the administration of US President Donald Trump denies involvement in the restrictions on Starlink operations in Ukraine.<\/a> Washington said it would contact SpaceX to find out the reasons for the problems.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American businessman Elon Musk has proposed to US President Donald Trump to restrict the operation of the Starlink satellite communication system in Ukraine.
