CBS News(@CBSNews):.@FedorovMykhailo who was ousted as Ukraine’s defense minister last month, tells CBS News’ @aidan_stretch that he remains in contact with Elon Musk as Ukraine considers using Starlink to target Russian ballistic missile sites. Fedorov says such a move “could be a game-changer” for Ukraine, which he says does not have enough Patriot missiles to defend against Russia’s ballistic launches. Fedorov also credited Musk and SpaceX with cutting off Russia’s use of Starlink, saying the move helped protect Ukraine’s air defenses and “saved thousands of lives.” He says he still communicates with Musk regularly.
