Finnish leader pleads with Musk to help Ukraine hit Russian missile launchers
Stubb said expanded access could help Ukraine target mobile Russian missile launchers before winter as air-defense interceptors run low, Reuters reported.
- On Thursday, Finnish President Alexander Stubb pleaded with Elon Musk to expand Starlink satellite internet coverage over Russia so Ukraine can strike mobile ballistic missile launchers located inside Russian territory.
- With winter looming, Ukraine faces acute air defense shortages to repel Russian ballistic missiles; Stubb noted that "even Starlink would be to a certain extent a good air defense there."
- Currently, Starlink does not work over Russian territory, but Ukrainian officials believe activation would enable strikes on mobile ballistic launchers located within several hundred kilometres of the border.
- US-Led peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine restarted in August, and Stubb stated an "unconditional ceasefire" remains the easiest solution, echoing President Donald Trump's recent comments at the UN General Assembly.
- The Finnish leadership is preparing a winter package for Ukraine, and Stubb proposed freezing the war along the line of contact with 30-kilometre buffer zones east and west.
