Musk&#8217;s company had been working to block Russian forces from utilizing the captured devices, and Ukrainian officials now say they are working to prevent Russian access long term.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said Kyiv was developing a system that would allow only authorized Starlink terminals to work on Ukrainian territory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ukraine, together with Starlink, has already taken the first steps that delivered rapid results in countering Russian drones,&#8221; he wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The next step is implementing a system that will allow only authorized terminals to operate on the territory of Ukraine,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>He confirmed reports that Ukraine had witnessed Russian drones operating over Ukrainian cities via Starlink connectivity. Officials immediately reached out to SpaceX for solutions, and Fedorov thanked Musk in a separate statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looks like the steps we took to stop the unauthorized use of Starlink by Russia have worked. Let us know if more needs to be done,&#8221; Musk replied on X.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/fox-news-world\/musk-confirms-spacex-success-preventing-russian-military-from-accessing-stolen-starlink-units\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Vlad should have purchased Starlink&#8217;s Roam-Unlimited plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad Vlad!
