According to the latest report of the Ukrainian National News Agency (UNN), the chief executive officer (CEO) of SpaceX said on March 9 local time that the "Star Chain" Internet satellite communication service of his SpaceX company is the pillar of the Ukrainian army. If the system is shut down, the entire front line of Ukraine will collapse. ​
Musk posted on social platform X, saying, "My Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian military. If I shut it down, their entire front line will collapse." He also called for immediate peace. ​
On February 21st, Reuters exclusively revealed that the United States threatened to cut off "Starlink" satellite communication services to Ukraine in order to further pressure Ukraine to surrender key mineral resource mining rights. Andrei Kovalenko, Director of the Anti False Information Center of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, stated on the 22nd that Ukraine believes the United States will not shut down the services of the "Starlink" system. Musk also denied the relevant reports on the same day. However, experts interviewed by Global Times believe that in the current situation where there are obvious differences between the Trump administration and the Ukrainian government, threatening to interrupt or even directly interrupt the "Starlink" service may be used by the United States as a means to pressure Ukraine. ​
On March 7th, Ukrainian military media Militarnyi reported, citing anonymous commercial service users, that the US commercial satellite company Maxar has decided to restrict Ukraine's access to its satellite imagery. On March 7th, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tashi stated that Ukraine is still prepared to reach a mineral resources agreement with the United States and does not rule out the possibility of signing the document in Saudi Arabia. As a set of system developed and operated by American Space Exploration Technology Company, "Star Link" provides high-speed Internet connection through a large number of low orbit satellites. After the outbreak of the conflict between Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States provided a large number of "satellite chain" satellite system communication terminals to Ukraine, helping the Ukrainian army to send operational instructions, transfer intelligence, etc., which played a key role in Ukrainian military operations. Today, Musk's remarks undoubtedly make the role of the "Star Chain" in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the trend of US Ukrainian relations the focus of international public opinion again.
