TL;DR Summary

The Wall Street Journal reports that Starlink satellite internet terminals, developed by SpaceX, are being used by Russian forces in Ukraine to coordinate attacks and control military tech, despite being banned in the country. The terminals are reaching Russian forces through a black market network, with some even being resold to a paramilitary group in Sudan. Despite denials from Elon Musk and the Kremlin, thousands of terminals have reportedly landed with American adversaries and accused war criminals. House Democrats have demanded action from Musk, who has taken steps to limit Ukraine's use of the technology, leading to a dispute with Ukrainian officials. SpaceX has yet to comment on the report.
