Reuters: The US may stop Ukraine access to Starlink through minerals

American negotiations who press on Kiev about access to critically important minerals of Ukraine have violated the likelihood of restricting the country’s access to a vital Starlink Satellite Internet system Ilon Mask, Reuters reported three sources familiar with this issue. The continuation of Ukraine’s access to SpaceX was discussed during meetings of US officials and Ukraine after President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected the initial proposal of US Finance Minister Scott Bessent, sources said. This issue was again raised on Thursday during a meeting of the US Special Representative for Ukraine Kellog and Zelensky, one of the sources said. During the meeting, Ukraine was informed that it was threatened by the inevitable termination of the service if it did not reach a mineral agreement, a source that wished to remain anonymous to discuss closed negotiations reported. The Embassy of Ukraine in Washington, the White House and the US Department of Defense did not respond to a comment request. SpaceX, which runs Starlink, also did not answer the comment request. Kyiv has not reacted to this message now. Starlink provides an important connection to the Internet for the destroyed war of Ukraine and its military.”, – WRITE: www.radiosvoboda.org
