Amid a prolonged war, Ukraine honors Elon Musk with one of the country’s highest awards and tries to broaden Starlink’s use, while the absence of the US marks the 35th anniversary celebrations of independence.
1. Honor to Elon Musk and Starlink
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy awarded Elon Musk the Order of Freedom, one of Ukraine’s highest decorations. The decree praises Musk for “exceptional personal contributions to protect human life and freedom” and for developing relations between Ukraine and the US. Starlink has become essential for communications on the battlefield and for the operation of Ukrainian drones since 2022. Ukraine is now seeking permission to use Starlink over Russian territory, aiming to attack ballistic missile launchers. Zelenskyy said Musk initially considered this a “major escalation,” but that recent feedback has been more positive.
2. The US absence at the independence anniversary
European leaders (the UK, France, Germany, and others) attended the celebrations marking 35 years of Ukraine’s independence. The Donald $TRUMP administration was notably absent from high-level public events, which was interpreted as yet another sign of Washington’s distancing. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent only an official message. The #Ucrania is facing a shortage of air-defense interceptors (in part due to the war in Iran) and is pushing for more support, while Europe announces new aid and military technology packages.
Ukraine honors #ElonMusk. and calls for expanding Starlink over Russia as the US reduces its prominence in the conflict. Europe is taking on a bigger role in supporting Kyiv, but peace negotiations remain stalled. The key question is whether the technology can make up for America’s absence in the long run.
