This is necessary to stop massive ballistic attacks.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Ukraine needs to speak with billionaire Elon Musk to obtain permission to use Starlink terminals to launch strikes against Russian territory.
This was reported by Charter97.org, citing a post by NEWSMAX journalist Nana Sajayi on social media X.
According to a Ukrainian official who spoke on condition of anonymity, Ukraine raised the issue of using Starlink to strike targets on Russian territory during a meeting with Trump at the UN General Assembly.
“You should talk to Elon about that,” Trump replied, referring to the head of Starlink.
The source also reported that the bilateral meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump went “very well” and “was very positive”. The Ukrainian side confirmed that it is ready for an energy truce with Russia.
In addition, NEWSMAX also confirms information previously reported in the media that tonight (in Kyiv, on the night of September 23), Ukrainian negotiators will meet with representatives of the E3 (France, Germany, and the United Kingdom) to discuss de-escalation measures and ideas for Trump’s envoys Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner.
“Then they will speak with the Russian side,” said the source.
It should be recalled that in recent months, Russia has been launching massive attacks on Ukraine using drones and, in particular, ballistic missiles. In order to destroy ballistic missile launchers—especially given Ukraine’s shortage of air defense missiles—the country needs permission for the Ukrainian military to use Starlink, including on Russian territory.
