参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（共和党-北卡罗来纳州）敦促埃隆·马斯克解释乌克兰失去星链军用访问权限的原因，并表示希望乌克兰受限的基于太空的通信网络访问权限是由于错误造成的，而非故意决定。蒂利斯在社交媒体上呼吁马斯克：“请告诉我，乌克兰境内星链终端在一夜之间的中断是非故意的 — — @SpaceX 正在尽其所能修复临时故障。”
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) is pressing Elon Musk to explain Ukraine’s loss of military access to Starlink and expressing hope that Ukraine’s restricted access to the space-based communications network was because of an error and not a deliberate decision. Tillis called on Musk in a social media post to “please tell me these overnight disruptions to Starlink terminals in Ukraine were unintended — that @SpaceX is doing everything it can to fix a temporary glitch.”
蒂利斯警告称：“故意削弱乌克兰自卫能力可能被视为帮助和教唆大规模屠杀”，他指的是俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京。“你能确认这不是SpaceX的意图吗？”他问道。“支持乌克兰主权 — — 或者至少允许其存在 — — 不应成为美国政府或美国企业的灰色地带。你能澄清一下SpaceX的立场吗？”蒂利斯在X平台上发布了此文。
Tillis warned that “intentionally degrading Ukraine’s ability to defend itself might be construed as aiding and abetting a mass murder,” referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Can you confirm that’s not SpaceX’s intent?” he added. “Supporting Ukrainian sovereignty — or at the very least, allowing for it — should not be a gray area for the U.S. government or for American corporations. Can you clarify the SpaceX position?”
马斯克是SpaceX的创始人兼首席执行官，该公司拥有星链。乌克兰周三表示，其军方失去了星链军用版的访问权限，该版本被用于关键通信，一些乌克兰官员猜测限制其访问的决定可能来自华盛顿。乌克兰国防顾问谢尔希·布雷斯克雷斯特诺夫表示，根据NBC新闻的报道，SpaceX在一夜之间对星链互联网终端施加了速度限制。
Tillis posted on X. Musk is the founder and CEO of SpaceX, which owns Starlink. Ukraine on Wednesday said that its military lost access to the military version of Starlink , which it uses for vital communications and some Ukrainian officials speculated the decision to restrict its access may have come from Washington. Ukrainian defense adviser Serhii Breskrestnov said that SpaceX imposed speed limits on Starlink’s internet terminals overnight, according to NBC News.
乌克兰国防部长米哈伊洛·费多罗夫周三下午表示，星链在最高时速160公里下的连接正在恢复。“完全取消星盾的速度限制目前对乌克兰的防御至关重要，”费多罗夫在X平台上写道，该社交媒体网站由马斯克所有。
Ukraine Ministrer of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov on Wednesday afternoon said Stalink connectivity at speeds of up to 160 km/h were being restored. "Removing Starshield's speed limit entirely is now critical for Ukraine's defense," Fedorov wrote on X, the social media site owned by Musk.
他感谢马斯克恢复了速度，并写道“我们希望得到您的持续支持。”据一位熟悉情况的消息人士透露，为防止乌克兰将星链用于无人机、飞机、直升机以及其他时速超过100英里的移动物体，星链的数据速度受到了限制，这削弱了其拦截俄罗斯发射的无人机的防御能力。乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基周三警告称，失去对星链的完全访问将导致乌克兰人员伤亡，并批评对该网络的限制是一个“大错误”。
He thanked Musk for the returned speed and wrote "we hope for your continued support." Starlink data speeds were limited to prevent Ukraine from using it for drones, airplanes and helicopters and other objects moving faster than 100 miles per hour, according to a source familiar, which hampered its defenses from intercepting Russian-launched drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday warned the loss of full access to Starlink would cost Ukrainian lives and blasted the limits on the network as a “big mistake.”
“当然，如果攻击继续进行且星链无法正常工作……那就毫无帮助，人们就会死亡。”他说。泽连斯基表示，他希望乌克兰对该网络的访问受限是一个“错误”，或者也许是SpaceX的一个“技术问题”。
“People will die, of course, if attacks will continue and if Starlink will not work … it’s not helpful,” he said. Zelensky said he hoped the limits on Ukrainian access to the network was a “mistake” or perhaps a “technical problem” at SpaceX.
