Ukrainian military intelligence accuses Russian forces of using Starlink terminals to assist in their attacks.

Conversations intercepted from the 83rd Separate Air Assault Brigade suggest Russian troops are utilizing Starlink in occupied Ukrainian territories.

Both Russian President Putin and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk deny the accusations, claiming there are no official or indirect sales of Starlink to Russia.

Ukraine maintains its stance, providing evidence of Starlink's use by Russian forces in front-line areas, specifically around Bakhmout.

Ukrainian defense efforts have led to the destruction of 40 Russian attack drones, mitigating some damage and casualties in Ukrainian regions.

The incident highlights the difficulty in preventing Western technology from being used by Russian military, despite international sanctions.
