The owner of the American company "SpaceX" Elon Musk has ordered the delay of the work of the military version of its satellite system "Starlink", on which Ukraine relies, writes the "Wall Street Journal", quoted by Reuters, BTA reported.
The American daily refers to representatives of the US authorities and sources familiar with the case.
The Reuters agency makes the reservation that it cannot confirm this information for now.
According to the sources of "Wall Street Journal" Both Elon Musk and Donald Trump have expressed their displeasure over the past week over Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, which the US president blames for high energy prices. Some of the quoted US officials claim that the owner of "SpaceX" himself decided to limit the speed at which the "Starshield" system transmits data to Ukraine last week.
"The Wall Street Journal" published this publication amid contradictory statements by Trump and Musk on the subject.
On Friday, the US president said that neither he nor the richest man in the world was to blame for the delay in the work of the military version of "Starlink", which came as a surprise to Ukraine. Musk, for his part, said the US government is responsible for any restrictions on "Starshield".
However, both have called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to step down. Yesterday, Trump said that Ukraine should agree to a deal to end the war with Russia.
