"If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation."

You opened yourself up a can of worms Elon, by turning it on for them in the beginning.

The initial reports were that Musk ordered a shut down of Starlink service in the Crimea region to prevent its use guiding sea drones.

His reply was he never ordered a shut down. It had never been active in that region.

The real issue is Starlink is not a secure network. Anyone can track bytes going to whatever base station or drone IP address. The US has in orbit assets that are secure that could do this. There is no reason for Starlink to be involved, nor their competitors like ViaSat.

This . . . is a marketing maneuver for a biography. It never happened.
