According to Twitter account @__Inty__, the White House denied reports that Ukraine's Starlink service was restricted, saying that the U.S. does not control SpaceX and was not involved in the outage, and that it is preparing to contact Musk's company. Ukrainian officials had previously contacted the White House, the CIA, and the Pentagon to ask the reason and seek restoration of the service. U.S. officials tend to conclude it was a technical malfunction, while the Ukrainian side suspects the move was a warning sent by the U.S. government.
