Here's the thing Catfish, no matter the link, they are all the same story and they all cite "unnamed sources". They are also linked to mineral rights. a lot of those minerals are needed for use in the Starlink satellites.
What I think the more likely scenario is: the U.S. told Ukraine they need those minerals for starlink and that those satellites have a finite lifespan of 5-7 years (before they break down and/or lose orbit) and that replacing them could be problematic without access to said minerals. and someone decided to exaggerate what was said to try and influence the "talks".
