Elon Musk ‘stopped Ukraine military using Starlink for military operation’
Billionaire Elon Musk reportedly restricted his Starlink internet access multiple times in Ukraine, which has affected Kyiv’s battlefield strategy. The world’s richest man denied the Ukrainian military’s request to turn on Starlink near Crimea, the Russian-controlled territory, during the ongoing war with Russia, the New York Times reported, citing people familiar with the situation. The Tesla CEO has been providing Starlink service to Ukraine since late February 2022, just days after Russian president Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked invasion and a cyberattack took down the country’s internet. SpaceX’s Starlink makes up the majority of satellites orbiting Earth with more than 4,000 of them in the low-Earth orbit. Mr Musk’s unilateral hold over his satellite internet technology, which has been an essential part of Ukraine's communications since the war, has raised concerns among officials, according to the report. In February this year, SpaceX announced it had taken steps to prevent Ukraine's military from using the Starlink satellite internet service for controlling drones in the region. Following the announcement, Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said SpaceX needed to pick a side in the war against Russia. Ukrainian authorities worried about over-dependence on a single source technology held talks with other satellite internet providers. But they acknowledged none rival Starlink’s reach. “Starlink is indeed the blood of our entire communication infrastructure now,” Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s digital minister, told NYT. The technology, he said, enabled artillery teams, commanders and pilots to watch drone footage simultaneously while chatting online. According to soldiers, the response times from finding a target to hitting it have been cut to about a minute from nearly 20 minutes. “The huge number of lives that Starlink has helped save can be measured in the thousands,” Mr Fedorov added. “This is one of the fundamental components of our success." Mr Musk also asked the US last year to fund for their internet services to Ukraine because they could not continue the arrangement. The company estimated the cost at nearly $400m over 12 months, according to a SpaceX letter reported by CNN. About 1,300 Starlink terminals purchased through a British supplier stopped working last year after the Ukrainian government could not pay the $2,500 monthly fee for each, according to the report. Meanwhile, defence secretary Lloyd Austin in June approved a Pentagon deal to buy 400 to 500 new Starlink terminals and services, that would provide the Pentagon control of the setting where the internet signal worked inside Ukraine for new devices to carry out “key capabilities and certain missions”. The Independent has reached out to Space X for a comment.

Zoo in China forced to deny their bear is someone in a costume
A zoo in China has been forced to deny that one of their animals is actually a person in a costume. Hangzhou Zoo responded after a video of a Malaysian sun bear sparked debate online, with some claiming that it wasn't a creature at all, but a person in a realistic bear suit. The bear, which goes by the name Angela, is seen standing on its hind legs much like a human would in the clip before a gathered crowd of guests. Many people won’t be familiar with the particular breed of bear. Sun bears are the smallest in the world and the largest only measure 50 inches tall when standing on their hind legs. They are unusual looking creatures, and the sight of them has made some people pretty suspicious – but the zoo has denied the rumours completely. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “Some people think I stand like a person. It seems you don’t understand me very well,” the statement read The zoo went on to claim that if it was someone in a costume, they’d never be able to cope with the heat – which reaches more than 100 degrees fahrenheit in the summer. “If a person did wear a bear costume, they would be lying down within minutes due to the heat,” they said. China also recently recorded its highest temperature ever after country reached a blistering 52.2C in Sanbao, Xinjiang. The spokesperson for the zoo also stated that members of the press were being invited to view the bears for themselves this week. The zoo has denied it is a person in a costume – but we do know for sure that one man in an animal costume has been making headlines earlier this year. A man who spent $22,000 transforming himself into a collie has hit back at online trolls who have called his desire to be a dog a “fetish”. The Japanese man named Toco has had a lifelong dream to become a collie and has dropped several thousand dollars in order to do so. But, since taking his first public “walk” in his newly transformed state, haters online have told him he needs “therapy”. Have your say in our news democracy.
