Ukraine, reliant on satellite communications from Elon Musk’s Starlink in a war that’s decimated the country’s telecommunications infrastructure, is finding that there’s no easy way out.

Suggestions that Ukraine could lose access to Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet system, which has been vital in maintaining its military communications as it fights Russia's invasion, have focused investor interest on Starlink's smaller European rival Eutelsat .

The issue has become critical after several media reported suggested that U.S. oligarch Elon Musk threatened to shut down Starlink over Ukraine if Kyiv refuses to accept the terms of President Donald Trump “peace deal” with Russia.

It's over for Starlink in Ontario, according to the Canadian province's premier, Doug Ford. Ford said in a press conference that due to US tariffs imposed against Canada (which as of Thursday were delayed until April) , Ontario canceled a $100 million contract with Elon Musk's Starlink satellite company it signed in November.

In response, those countries have instituted many of their own retaliatory tariffs and economic punishments on American products, including some targeted at Trump’s political partner, DOGE douchebag Elon Musk.

Ontario, Canada, is canceling its contract with Starlink due to the tariffs the U.S. placed on Canadian goods, while Italy is having second thoughts about the White House's pullback on its European security commitments.
