# Musk denies Kiev assistance in targeting strikes against Russia — magazine

According to The Atlantic, the US entrepreneur keeps saying that it's time to make a deal

WASHINGTON, August 7. /TASS/. US entrepreneur Elon Musk is denying Ukraine the use of Starlink for direct strikes deep into Russian territory to prevent escalation, The Atlantic magazine quoted sources as saying.

"As of this moment, there is no positive decision. Elon keeps saying it's time to make a deal," the magazine quoted a source close to former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail Fyodorov, who approached Musk on this issue, as saying.

Earlier, the magazine reported that Vladimir Zelensky also asked US President Donald Trump to influence Musk so that he would allow Kiev to use Starlink satellites to plan strikes. The White House and Musk's SpaceX did not respond to TASS's request for comment.
