    Bold claim to suggest they would be defying US sanctions to Russia like that

    I’m no diplomat but I’m pretty sure this doesn’t break any laws.

    And if you know anything about Musk then it’s really not a bold claim.

      It’s against US sanctions. Starlink doesn’t work in Russia (or Crimea) for this very reason.

      “If SpaceX obtains knowledge that a Starlink terminal is being used by a sanctioned or unauthorized party, we investigate the claim and take actions to deactivate the terminal if confirmed.”
