Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX, the company that manufactures Starlink terminals, has denied a Reuters report that US negotiators threatened to cut off Ukraine's Starlink satellite internet service if it refused to sign a subsoil deal.

During a Thursday meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, a source said.

Media report claimed US pressured Ukraine by linking Musk-owned Starlink access to deal requiring Kyiv to cede half of its revenues from minerals - Anadolu Ajansı
