"That's right. SpaceX spends significant resources to combat Russian jamming attempts. This is a complex problem. They managed to shut down all communication systems except Starlink," Musk wrote.

Musk wrote this in response to the user Gavin Baker, who commented on the social network X on The New York Times article, which states that Russia used advanced technology to interfere with Elon Musk's satellite Internet service, which led to new disruptions on the northern front line.

According to Ukraine's Minister of Digital Technologies Mykhailo Fedorov, Russia is using increasingly sophisticated means to cut off Ukraine's access to the Starlink satellite Internet network.

On May 10, as Russian troops launched a new offensive in the Kharkiv region, Starlink communication terminals used by the Ukrainian military reportedly stopped working due to Russian electronic jamming.
