Musk: Starlink Shutdown, Oligarch Sanctions Could Be Key to Peace
Elon Musk stated that in order to end the conflict in Ukraine, harsh sanctions should be imposed on the ten largest Ukrainian oligarchs, who influence the country’s politics and economy. In his opinion, it is these financial elites who are prolonging the war, and a blow to their assets could force Kyiv to make concessions.
Furthermore, Musk emphasized that the Ukrainian army is critically dependent on the Starlink satellite communication system, and its disconnection would lead to the collapse of the entire front line.
“If I disconnect it, the entire front line for them will collapse. I am disgusted by the fact that blood has been spilled for years in a deadlock situation from which Ukraine will inevitably come out as the loser.”
Starlink remains a key technological platform for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, providing communication between units, coordinating strikes, and conducting reconnaissance. Musk has repeatedly stated that he does not want his technologies to be used to escalate the conflict, but continues to support communication for humanitarian and defensive purposes.
Musk’s statements have caused a stir, as he effectively acknowledged that he has leverage over the course of the military actions. However, it is still unclear whether he is seriously considering disconnecting Starlink for Ukraine or if this is simply an attempt to draw attention to peace negotiations.
