On Thursday, American billionaire Elon Musk called again for the departure of Volodymyr Zelensky and the installation of another president in Ukraine, at a time when questions are increasing about American support for Kiev.

The head of SpaceX, whose Starlink satellite network plays an essential role in the war between Russia and Ukraine, as Kiev relies on it for its field communications and logistical operations on the front lines, said: “It is time for Zelensky to leave.

He wrote on his “X” platform that while Zelensky remains in office, “the massacre continues.”

Ukraine announced on Wednesday that the speed of the Starlink system had been slowed down, which hindered a large part of the work of its marches and air defenses, and Zelensky asked Musk to restart it.

Musk responded by stressing that any slowdown in the network was due to the US government and not his company, SpaceX.

In this context, he distinguished between the "StarShield" service, which is intended for military purposes and which Ukraine uses in its defensive operations and on the front, and the Starlink service, which is limited to civilian uses.

The satellite system developed by SpaceX provides both services.
