Elon Musk confirms the company did limit Ukraine's access to Starlink saying that it was closing a loophole that allowed the system to be used for offensive drone strikes.
This would suggest that they haven't returned the abilities as reported.
Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.

BREAKING: Statement from @metpoliceuk confirms they DID receive a letter from the USA about Thomas Markle. It raised concerns “in relation to the security of the Duchess of Sussex”.
But police say it was in January 2019. Not the summer of 2018 as Harry & Meghan’s office said yesterday.

Scoop: I have heard from a source familiar with the RAF Fairford story that the US feared a drone a attack similar to Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb last year which destroyed 10 Russian aircraft. They fear Iran might copy the tactics and that drones might even already be in UK, hence abrupt departure of B1s.

🚨🚨A White House official tells me: "Ambassdor Huckabee’s comments on the UK sanctions against Israeli settlements were not coordinated with the White House or Main State."
"This is an irrational action... if the UK is really interested in dealing with issues they feel like are wrong, where are the sanctions against North Korea, China, Russia?"
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who has accused the UK government and Ed Miliband of 'Jew hate' speaks to @annaefoster about the plan to sanction goods and services from West Bank settlements.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The UK sanctions on Russia include over 3400 designations. The UK also has a sanctions regime against North Korea. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief… gov.uk/guidance/democ…
