Russia uses Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network in Ukraine. This is what Ukraine’s intelligence service says in a post on Telegram, the Reuters news agency writes on its website.

The post on Telegram contains what the Ukrainian authorities say is a conversation between two Russian soldiers via Starlink.

Starlink receivers have been given an important role in war zones, in Ukraine for example, where more traditional infrastructure does not work or is knocked out.
