Last year, American billionaire Elon Musk ordered the disconnection of the Starlink satellite network near the Crimean coast to prevent Ukraine from attacking the Russian fleet. This is reported by CNN.


Musk's decision, which led Ukrainian officials to ask him to turn the satellites back on, was driven by an acute fear that Russia would respond with nuclear weapons. The fear, which, according to the publication, was caused by Musk's conversations with high-ranking Russian officials.
