Frontline assaults, drone strikes, and communication between units have all been massively hit by Elon Musk cutting off Starlink used by the Russian forces attacking Ukraine.

There have been calls in Russia for a nuclear strike in space after Elon Musk delivered a massive blow to Vladimir Putin’s war effort.

Putin’s military has suffered after Elon Musk cut off Starlink satellite internet terminals used by the Russian forces.

There is dismay in Kremlin ranks over the sudden loss which has impacted on frontline assaults, drone strikes, and communication between units.

Musk acted on a request from Ukraine’s new tech-savvy defence minister Mykhaylo Fedorov to deprive Russia of access to Starlink, while continuing to allow its use by Kyiv’s forces.

It is part of a perfect storm facing Putin which is reportedly nudging him towards a ceasefire in the long running war.

The Kremlin tyrant has been warned of a full-blown economic crisis in Russia in four months’ time, while the US has also vowed to keep supplying American munitions to Ukraine and deepen sanctions until Putin agrees to end the conflict.
