In the fall of 2022, the Ukrainian military was affected by Elon Musk's decision to cut off Starlink network coverage in Herson province, where a counteroffensive was underway. This action resulted in the loss of essential communications, causing panic among soldiers and difficulties in coordinating operations. Musk acted out of fear of nuclear retaliation from Russia, according to sources. Although the outage had a negative impact, the Starlink network continues to be crucial to Ukraine, with over 50,000 active terminals.
