Elon Musk activates Starlink internet service in Ukraine

 

 

In the face of Russia’s invasion on Ukraine, Elon Musk and SpaceX are providing their assistance.

 

The declaration comes after Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov urged the SpaceX millionaire to assist in the delivery of satellite-based communications to the nation, which has been hampered by the Russian invasion.

 

“While you try to colonize Mars, Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space, Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand,” Fedorov wrote on Twitter.

Hours later, Musk announced that the space company’s Starlink satellite internet service is available in Ukraine, with more terminals on the way.

“Starlink service is now active in Ukraine,” he wrote. “More terminals en route.”
