00:02Ukraine has accused Elon Musk's SpaceX of restricting access to its military satellite
00:07service, Starshield, as Russia intensified attacks on Kyiv, according to CNBC.
00:12Ukrainian officials said the restrictions disrupted military operations and efforts
00:17to protect civilians.
00:18SpaceX CEO Elon Musk responded Wednesday that Starshield systems are owned and controlled
00:23by the U.S. government, with the military and ultimately President Trump determining
00:27their use.
00:28Starshield provides secure communications and other national security capabilities using
00:33technology developed for SpaceX's commercial Starlink network.
00:36The company has received more than $6 billion in multi-year U.S. government contracts for
00:40Starshield.
00:41Musk also said Starlink is restricted to civilian and defensive purposes and cannot be used for
00:46offensive military operations.
