乌克兰总统泽连斯基于周三通过总统令,向埃隆·马斯克授予乌克兰“自由勋章”1。这一荣誉旨在表彰马斯克通过“星链”(Starlink)系统在保护生命与自由,以及加强乌美关系方面作出的突出贡献1。
自2022年俄罗斯全面入侵以来,“星链”一直是乌克兰军队和民众的通信生命线,并已成为乌军通信与无人机作战的关键基础设施1。马斯克允许“星链”在乌克兰境内(包括俄占区)使用,但限制其在俄罗斯境内运行1。今年早些时候,SpaceX应基辅方面请求,封锁了俄军在占领区使用的未授权“星链”终端1。目前,泽连斯基正寻求美国协助,试图说服马斯克允许“星链”在乌克兰境外(即俄罗斯领土上空)运行,以支持远程无人机打击1。但马斯克认为,允许“星链”在俄领土运行将构成重大且危险的升级1。此外,乌克兰前国防部长米哈伊洛·费多罗夫于7月被解职,部分原因涉及与SpaceX关于“星链”使用批准的信息失误1。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree on Wednesday to award Elon Musk the Order of Freedom, recognizing his outstanding contributions through Starlink in protecting lives and freedom, as well as strengthening Ukraine-U.S. relations 1. Since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, Starlink has served as a vital communication lifeline for both the Ukrainian military and civilians, becoming critical infrastructure for military communications and drone operations 1.
While Musk has permitted the use of Starlink within Ukraine, including in Russian-occupied territories, he has restricted its operation inside Russia 1. Musk's restrictions on the system's operational scope directly impact the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian military 1. Zelenskyy has sought U.S. help to persuade Musk to allow Starlink to be used outside Ukraine, including operating over Russian territory to support long-range drone strikes, a move Musk argues would constitute a major and dangerous escalation 1. Earlier this year, SpaceX blocked unauthorized Starlink terminals used by Russian forces in occupied areas at the request of Kyiv 1. In a related development, former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov was dismissed in July, partly due to an information mishap regarding the approval of Starlink usage with SpaceX 1.
