Elon Musk used his X (formerly Twitter) profile this Sunday (9) to emphasize the importance of his company, SpaceX, in assisting the Ukrainian army during the country’s conflict with Russia.

According to him, without Starlink, his satellite service, the frontlines of Ukraine “would collapse.” “I literally challenged [Vladimir] Putin to a one-on-one physical fight for Ukraine,” he wrote on the social network.

“My Starlink system is the backbone of the Kyiv military. Their entire front line would collapse if I shut it down,” the entrepreneur added.

He then emphasized that he has no intention of shutting down the service in Ukraine. “To be absolutely clear, no matter how much I disagree with Ukraine’s politics, Starlink will never be shut down in the country,” Musk warned.

“Without our company, the Russians could block all other communications, and we would never do that or use it as a bargaining chip,” he stressed.
