Elon Musk says SpaceX won't cut off Starlink in Ukraine 

Elon Musk said SpaceX wouldn't switch off its Starlink internet service in Ukraine even if the US government declined to fund the project. The billionaire has recently expressed how expensive it has been for SpaceX to keep running Starlink in Ukraine while the war with Russia wages on.

SpaceX asked the Department of Defense (DoD) in September to fund the satellite internet service in the country because the company said it couldn't afford it, CNN recently reported.
