Indirectly, the Russian representative in the United Nations has assured that he does not look favorably on the North American satellites.
In a recent statement made by Konstantin Vorontsov, the Russian representative in the First Committee of the United Nations, where issues dealing with disarmament and international security are discussed, he has taken into consideration threaten the United States in a veiled manner about the use of the Starlink satellite network, without giving names obviously. Russia has recently had disagreements with NASA, which has a telescope to take “x-rays” of outer space, but Some lines start to cross recklessly.
Russia is always ready to wage war, although it does not usually have well-founded arguments for it
Konstantin Vorontsov’s accusation leaves no room for doubt. The Russian representative has accused the United States of the ‘provocative use of civil satellites’, stating that the arms race is beginning to heat up, although ‘the point of no return has not yet been passed’. The North American country seems to be the target of Russian wrath, although the West in general is also included under its umbrella. In fact, Russia has accused half the planet of colluding in weapons development ‘designed to threaten or be used in, from or against outer space’.

Of course, although the arms issue has come up, one of the great Russian concerns is the use of Starlink satellites as an ace up Ukraine’s sleeve, given the previously announced collaboration between Elon Musk’s company and the attacked country. Konstantin Vorontsov threatensagain, ensuring that:
Quasi-civil infrastructures could become legitimate targets for retaliation. The West does not realize that such actions, in fact, constitute indirect participation in military conflicts.
USA It has not been left behind and after the Russian accusation it has counterattacked by stating that the missile tests, which destroyed Russian satellites and which introduced a resolution to prohibit this type of activity, were not the responsibility of any other country. Furthermore, the American country claims that Russia destroyed one of its own satellites in the year 2021causing the ISS to change its course to avoid impact with the debris of the satellite.
China is also not exempt from accusations. The United States also affirms that the Asian country was developing an anti-satellite missile system and that he had already proven it by shooting down one of his own weather satellites. Be that as it may, it does not seem that the Russian threat is going to become real, although Elon Musk’s satellites are already beginning to raise suspicions beyond the United States.
