Can you provide a source for this claim?

Not the person you asked, but here's a couple of sources that back that claim:

https://www.newsweek.com/russia-starlink-ukraine-gur-elon-mu...

https://kyivindependent.com/nearly-half-of-usaid-starlink-te...

Also, as I understand it, a big part of the reason USAID was fed "into the woodchipper" was because they were investigating SpaceX over Russian use of Starlink - see https://gizmodo.com/elon-musks-enemy-usaid-was-investigating...

Here, have a video of the russian cavalry with a Starlink attached to a horse. Yes, you have read that right. 2026 btw. https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/1q7i... Also: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/01/08/russia-sat...

Start here:

Scroll down to Russian use.

Starlink receivers have been found in use in drones by both sides in the war.

There's a lot of Open Source intel on this.
