    I would think you could wait until Russia took over a town and then cut off Starlink to that town until Ukraine makes advances.

      Same problem

      “Hey musk? Could you restore service to this town at 2 am on Wednesday? No reason but also please don’t tell putin or trump.”

        Cool, except that’s what I’m saying. I’m saying the Ukraine military tells Starlink where the Russians are and they block them. Then if they move, the Ukraine military tells them that. I’m guessing Putin already knows where his own troops are and I’m guessing Starlink has a phone number, as does the Ukrainian military.

          Why would Russia move? I’ll give you a hint: it involves shooting at them.

          So unless Ukraine wants to not be able to communicate with recon units before every attack…

            You mean like with a phone? You’re right, not possible.
