“He appears as support, presents himself as a hero and savior of Ukraine. Then a second time where he says it’s time to pay him. He turns on the American government and threatens to cut off the networks Starlink if the United States does not pay the bill”continues the major reporter the Express. “Then a third time where he officially says thathe doesn’t want his Starlink be used to wage war”says Béatrice Mathieu.
