Reuters: Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on rare earth minerals. The United States has warned Ukraine that SpaceX could cut off its access to the vital Starlink satellite internet service if a critical minerals deal is not reached.

Momentum is building among some Republicans and SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk to withdraw the U.S. from NATO amid stalled negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. While President Donald Trump reportedly privately floated pulling the U.

Kirill Dmitriev wrote on Elon Musk’s X platform for the first time since 2012 this week to declare US-Russia cooperation was “key to address world challenges.” Then he posted a video graphic depicting a joint mission to Mars with the US and Saudi Arabia on what appears to be one of Musk’s SpaceX rockets.

U.S. negotiators have reportedly threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink if an agreement on minerals cannot be reached, but Elon Musk denied the report on Saturday. This is according to "three sources familiar with the matter" who spoke to Reuters.

Ukraine's continued access to SpaceX-owned Starlink was brought up in discussions between U.S. and Ukrainian officials after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy turned down an initial proposal from U.

Starlink is fully committed to providing service to Ukraine. Any rumors to the contrary are categorically false. The United States has informed Ukraine that access to SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service could be cut off if an agreement over mineral rights is not reached,

During a Thursday meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, a source said.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO claims his social media platform’s fact-checking tool is being ‘gamed’ by governments and media.

Suggestions that Ukraine could lose access to Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet system, which has been vital in maintaining its military communications as it fights Russia's invasion, have focused investor interest on Starlink's smaller European rival Eutelsat .

The aggressive meeting also led to protests in New York, Los Angeles and Boston, where hundreds gathered to express their support for Ukraine and Zelenskyy

Poland said on Saturday it has been paying for Ukraine's Starlink subscription and will continue to do so despite sources saying the United States could consider cutting Ukraine's access to the satellite internet system.
