Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asks President Donald Trump to help persuade Elon Musk to allow Ukraine to use Elon Musk’s Starlink for targeting inside Russia. According to reporting summarized by both outlets, the proposal centers on using Starlink guidance to improve Ukrainian ability to locate and strike Russian ballistic-missile launchers. One account links the request to Ukraine’s efforts amid limited air-defense resources, describing a need to find alternatives as Kyiv faces dwindling supplies of Patriot interceptor missiles. The discussion, as presented in the sources, frames Starlink-enabled targeting as a way to increase operational effectiveness against specific military assets inside Russian territory. The outlets do not provide details on whether Musk or Starlink has granted approval for such use, nor do they specify any formal timeline for a decision. The reporting therefore focuses on the request and the stated rationale for it, rather than confirming a change in Starlink policy or operational deployment.
