Starlink has already cut access to front line Ukrainians before, forcing them to hold off on advancing due to lack of communication.
Starlink has benefitted immensely from the war, so it's not a purely humanitarian desire to help Ukrainians. Free publicity and a guaranteed market share when only a handful of people ever even heard of Starlink is what they were after, IMO.
This still leaves my question unaswered. What has he done to indicate that he's pro-Putin? I'm genuinely asking.
That's not why. They were stretching the Russian defences and resources and now have launched their main attack. In any case, Russia can jam starlink. It's not some wunderwaffe.
