Musk demands peace: Ukraine could be in need without Starlink!

The US billionaire Elon Musk has emphasized the alarming role of its SATELLITENSYST STARLINK for the Ukrainian armed forces. Musk explained in an urgent tweet on his platform X: "If I turned it off, your entire front breaks down." This system therefore represents the backbone of Ukrainian defense against Russia's offensive. Musk, the close confidant of ex-President Donald Trump, also expressed his frustration over the years of stuck conflict in Ukraine and called for an immediate peace conclusion. According to his words, Ukraine will lose in the long term anyway, which means that immediate negotiations are necessary to prevent further bloodshed.

These alarming statements come in a context in which the US government under Trump has carried out a significant turn in its Ukraine policy. As the Tagesspiegel , the support for Kiev was completely stopped. According to official statements from the White House, this drastic measure is supposed to put pressure on President Wolodymyr Selenskyj in order to initiate peace talks. Trump also accused Selenskyj of not having the will to end the war and thus opposed the expectations of a solution to the conflict.

in his comments makes Musk clear that the situation in Ukraine is more critical than ever. The immediate effects of his threat to switch off the Starlink system could be catastrophic for the Ukrainian armed forces who are dependent on this technology. In the meantime, Russian President Vladimir Putin was also ready for negotiations, which increases the uncertainty about further conflicts.
