On October 14, Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary to the Russian president, voiced his concerns, stating that cybersecurity issues are escalating in urgency, and advanced technologies such as 'Starlink' ought to refrain from being employed for military objectives. During the press conference held on the same day, he further highlighted that certain countries are endeavoring to transform artificial intelligence technology into a weapon, which poses a threat to the economies of numerous nations. Consequently, Russia must be ready to counter such moves.

On that very day, Beskrestnov, an advisor to the Ukrainian president, took to social media to reveal that during the previous night, SpaceX had imposed speed restrictions on the operational terminals of the 'Starlink' satellite internet system. The Ukrainian military received no prior notification, resulting in the disruption of several missions. (Xinhua News Agency)
