SpaceX founder and billionaire Elon Musk is providing free satellite-based internet service in Ukraine through his company Starlink, as Russia invades the nation and causes power outages.
Starlink is a growing network of small satellites that SpaceX has been building out since 2018 to supply broadband internet access around the globe. The Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and minister of digital transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, appealed to Musk in a tweet Saturday, asking him to extend Starlink's high-speed broadband internet services to the besieged country.
Musk on Saturday tweeted that Starlink service was active in Ukraine and also agreed to send more Starlink terminals to expand the country's bandwidth.
