Starlink is prohibited for use in Crimea because of US sanctions against Russia, and not because "Musk turned Starlink off during a Ukrainian attack".

Well, per other comments, Starlink terminals apparently do work in Russia.

And Musk did exactly that per numerous reports. Given his erratic behavior since around 2018, it's not hard to believe. The other day he was literally threatening to stop Dragon launches for NASA.
