❗️WSJ reports Elon Musk personally ordered a slowdown of the military-grade Starlink service used by Ukraine, leaving some offensive and interceptor drones virtually useless. Musk and Trump later discussed the move; one source says they had also discussed it beforehand. #Ukraine

Yes, it’s real, didn‘t doubt it. Greek‘s two main motivation points for doing this: -their shipping companies need to go unhindered through the Red Sea. It’s an economic asset, but is it „strategical“? - they need money to serve their huge debt! We can assume they aren‘t doing this for free for S-A.

Very good thread! Very necessary! Read here a while ago that Greece sits on medium numbers of PAC-2s which are near end-of-life but they aren‘t willing to supply them to Ukraine. Should just be a question of enough money given to Greece IMHO. After all, the EU earned a lot of money on Greece‘s debt.

It needs to be paraphrased that neither Starlink nor Starshield can be used for this operation by the Ukrainian military, since those services have always been been off limits for Ukrainian forces. Only Ukrainian end products are used.
