SpaceX, which operates the Starlink satellite communications network, said it does not conduct any business with the Russian government or the Russian armed forces.

“SpaceX does not conduct any business with the Russian government or its military,” SpaceX said.

Starlink does not work in Russia, which means that the service will not work in this country. SpaceX has never sold or deployed Starlink products in Russia, nor has it shipped equipment to the Russian Federation. If Russian stores say they sell Starlink for service in this country, they are deceiving their customers,” the company stressed.

In addition, it is emphasized that Starlink also does not operate in Dubai.

“Starlink cannot be purchased in Dubai, and SpaceX does not deliver its products there,” the statement said.

It was also emphasized that Starlink does not allow any third parties, resellers or distributors to sell its systems in Dubai.

“If SpaceX receives information that a Starlink terminal is being used by a sanctioned or unauthorized party, we will investigate the complaint and take action to deactivate the terminal if confirmed,” the company said.

On Thursday, the media spread information that Russian invaders have Starlink with licensed accounts.

Let’s recall that Israel announced that it was abandoning Starlink satellite communications after SpaceX founder Elon Musk announced that his network would operate in the Gaza Strip.
