The Ukrainian construction of the “Starlink” communication system, which is connected to billionaire Elon Musk, is being funded in part by the Pentagon. An official in the Pentagon said in an interview with the Russian “Novosti” agency, on Monday: “We are studying all available options, and this is one of the potential options.
”
According to sources cited by the newspaper “Politico,” the Pentagon may employ the programme for aiding the Ukrainian army known as “effort to help Ukraine’s security.”
According to media sources, Elon Musk’s company, “SpaceX,” had requested funding from the Pentagon before announcing that it would no longer be able to support the “Starlink” satellite project in Ukraine.
Later, Musk stated on “Twitter” that despite the losses, he would still fund the “Starlink” project.
The Pentagon is investigating how “Starlink” is funded in Ukraine.
