Elon Musk told former Ukrainian defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov that he is ready to allow Kyiv to use drones equipped with the Starlink system beyond its border to strike Russian targets, Financial Times reports, citing sources.

However, Musk also conveyed to the Ukrainian side that the decision is political in nature and must be made at the White House, the interlocutors claim.

At the end of August, the FT wrote that Kyiv had asked for permission to use Starlink drones to strike deep inside Russia, but Donald Trump did not agree. The newspaper noted that Musk’s approval was needed.

The Kremlin promised a tough response from Moscow to attempts by Kyiv to strike deep inside the country.
