Ukraine would not have launched this attack unless they knew that there was coverage. One can only conclude that Musk disabled Starlink while the attack was in progress https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/musk-stopped-ukraine-attack-russian-fleet-starlink-rcna104019 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/07/elon-musk-ordered-starlink-turned-off-ukraine-offensive-biography https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/elon-musk-turned-off-starlink-satellite-to-prevent-ukrainian-attack-off-crimea-3qrbgvq3d Also, Ukraine has later attacked Russian Black Sea ships and it didn't trigger a nuclear response.
