Sadly this summary does not contain the actual essence of that report as the report jumps from irrelevant points to Musk disagreeing with ukranian military using it to actually fight for their freedom. But nooooo, they aren't allowed to use it in an "offensive" manner, only to slow down the invaders. Nice one Musk rat.

"How am I in this war? Musk asked,” according to Isaacson. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do peaceful things, not drone strikes.”

“We were really pleased to be able to provide Ukraine connectivity and help them in their fight for freedom,” she [Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president and chief operating officer,] said. “It was never intended to be weaponized, but the Ukrainians have leveraged it in ways that were unintentional and not part of any agreement.”
