Excerpt:

Without the ability to operate drones or communicate through Starlink, the Russians have struggled to hold their defensive lines, and the Ukrainians have advanced. In the first three weeks of February, they seized more than 300 square kilometers of land from the Russians, Zelensky said in an interview with the French news agency AFP. “Without a doubt, our forces are exploiting the problems that the Russians are having with Starlink,” he said. A few days later, the commander of Ukraine’s armed forces, General Oleksandr Syrsky, said in a social-media post that the Ukrainians had liberated eight villages and more than 400 square kilometers during the past month, a rate of advance that Ukraine has not achieved in well over a year of grinding, attritional combat.

Fedorov, the defense minister, has publicly expressed his gratitude to Musk for giving Ukraine that advantage, and Musk has pledged to continue his support. “Looks like the steps we took to stop the unauthorized use of Starlink by Russia have worked,” Musk wrote on X. “Let us know if more needs to be done.”

IPO (initial public offering)

Very expensive to do and no doubt major banks were not going to do loans without forcing Elon to block Russia’s access to Starlink.

hopefully this continues and Ukraine can continue to advance and reclaim territory. It makes going into negotiations much easier. If Russia keeps loosing, their position will be quite a bit weaker.
