President Donald Trump says his administration had nothing to do with the recent slowdown of a satellite system that Ukraine depends on in its war with Russia.  

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump said he had looked into it that morning. “It wasn’t us,” he said. He added that he did not know if anyone had been responsible, since “it wasn’t me and I don’t think it was Elon.”

The system is owned by Elon Musk’s company.

The restrictions imposed earlier this week cut into the Ukrainian military’s ability to shoot down Russian attack drones for 24 hours, Axios reported. That raised fears that the Trump administration, and possibly Musk, were hitting back at Ukraine. Two things may have set it off: Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil refineries, and Zelensky’s criticism of Trump’s diesel deal with Russia.  

Ukraine’s military uses Starlink to run its reconnaissance and interceptor drones. When the service is not at full strength, it becomes harder for Ukraine to collect intelligence, use interceptor drones and carry out long-range strikes on Russia.

The attacks on oil refinery in Russia will impact the whole world. That is what some want. Just a thought.
