Ukrainian activist Yuriy Sternenko announced on X at an unspecified time between 8:15:45 AM and 9:15:35 AM UTC on February 2, 2026, that it is time for Russians to say goodbye to Starlink satellites, signaling further restrictions on Russian access amid ongoing tensions. This statement follows Elon Musk's shutdown of Russian Starlink capabilities, as reported in prior periods. Sternenko's post, sourced from https://x.com/sternenko/status/2018242001863340345, comes one hour after Russian claims of declaring war on Musk and threatening nuclear strikes on Starlink satellites, according to an X post by jurgen_nauditt reported earlier this morning. No official Russian government response to Sternenko's announcement appeared in sources during this 59-minute window. The development builds on Russian military bloggers' expressions of anger over Musk disabling Starlink for Russian forces, as noted in an OSINTtechnical X post from 6:15:40 AM to 6:45:39 AM UTC today. Starlink restrictions relate to efforts to limit Russian military technological access.
