Musk calls on Ukraine’s Zelensky to ‘go’ after satellite slowdown row
AI generated
asserted
Musk → call → row
Tech billionaire Elon Musk called on Oct 14 for Volodymyr Zelensky to “go” as Ukraine’s leader, after insisting any disruption to the war-torn country’s use of his satellite communications system was the fault of the US government, not his company.
asserted
disruption → call → government
The comments came as Kyiv raised doubts over US support for Ukraine in its war with Russia, accusing Washington this week of helping Moscow by failing to warn it of incoming missile strikes and hobbling Kyiv’s military response through changes to the SpaceX-designed system it uses for communications.
“And so the slaughter continues,” Musk wrote on X.
asserted
Musk → come → communications
“Time for Zelensky to go.”
asserted
Zelensky → go → ?
Musk earlier said that “any limits on speed or usage” of his SpaceX company’s Starshield systems were “decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS”, referring to US President Donald Trump.
asserted
limits → say → Trump
He drew a distinction between Starshield, which Ukraine relies on for battlefield communications, and the parallel Starlink civilian satellite system, which Kyiv also deploys but is not allowed to use for offensive operations.
asserted
Kyiv → draw → operations
Musk was responding to a post on X by Ukraine’s former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who said that “Starlink connectivity at speeds of up to 160kmh is being restored,” but that “removing Starshield’s speed limit entirely is now critical for Ukraine’s defence”.
asserted
removing → respond → defence
Trump under pressure
Ukrainian defence officials have suggested Washington is behind slower speeds reported on some internet terminals that help the country’s military hit Russian-occupied territory and operate interceptor drones.
uncertain
military → suggest → drones
Kyiv has also accused the United States of helping Russia by failing to warn it of incoming missile strikes, with the city hit by ballistic missiles for two nights in a row before air raid sirens could sound to warn residents to take cover.
uncertain
sirens → accuse → cover
A senior official in Kyiv also said that the United States had in recent days threatened to stop providing intelligence about Russian missile launches that Ukraine uses to thwart attacks – which Trump has denied.
asserted
Trump → say → which
Trump, facing key midterm elections in November in which soaring fuel prices are a major issue, has blamed Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries for the squeeze on supplies and increase in prices at the pump.
asserted
prices → face → pump
Opposition Democrats in the US Senate and House denounced Trump’s administration over the reported interrupted connections.
asserted
Democrats → denounce → connections
“Trump’s making a choice – and it directly aids Putin’s slaughter of Ukrainian civilians,” House Foreign Affairs Committee Democrats said in a post on X, describing restrictions as “unconscionable” while Ukraine faced an onslaught of Russian drones and missiles.
asserted
Ukraine → make → drones
In the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, top Democrat Jeanne Shaheen said the “restrictions on Ukraine’s access to Starshield must stop immediately,” adding that “lives are at stake”.
asserted
lives → say → stake
Shaheen also said that the defense department is required to notify “Congress if it pauses or downgrades intelligence sharing with Ukraine”, and called on Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth to immediately provide that notification if there are changes.
asserted
it → say → notification
