The governor of the Lugansk People’s Republic has branded the satellite system a security threat

The head of Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic has banned all products from Elon Musk’s company SpaceX, including equipment for the Starlink satellite internet system, citing security concerns.

“Starlink technology can be used by the enemy to coordinate its actions, transfer data and deliver strikes on our territory. We cannot afford to ignore this threat,” Leonid Pasechnik said Thursday on social media.

The border region, formerly part of Ukraine, declared independence following the Western-backed 2014 coup in Kiev and later voted to join Russia.

Russian officials have voiced concerns that Starlink is not a purely civilian technology and could be used for military purposes since before the ongoing crisis.

Musk began supplying Starlink terminals to Ukraine after the conflict escalated in 2022. He claimed the service was resistant to Russian jamming efforts.

Trump’s envoy urges Musk to provide free Starlink to ‘friends’ in Iran

Satellite communications via Starlink have enabled Ukrainian forces to weaponize industrial-grade drones that can carry the terminals and be piloted remotely from a large distance.

Musk said back in 2023 that he had rejected a Ukrainian request to activate Starlink over Crimea, which he interpreted as preparation for strikes on the Russian naval base in Sevastopol.

“If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation,” he said at the time.

During the recent escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran, Musk faced calls to “put the final nail in the coffin of the Iranian regime” by providing Starlink services “to the Iranian people” – a scenario apparently intended to instigate an uprising.

Musk replied with “the beams are on.” Reza Pahlavi, the son of the pro-Western monarch of Iran ousted by the 1979 revolution who advocates for regime change in Tehran, responded, “Thank you, Elon.”

Subsequently, the US joined Israel in conducting airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. President Donald Trump subsequently urged both nations to agree to a truce.
