Starlink active in Ukraine says Elon Musk as Russian invasion disrupts internet
India Today
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Saturday announced that SpaceX’s Starlink satellite broadband service was now available in Ukraine with more terminals en route to the country.
As Ukrainians called for help Space X CEO Elon Musk responded by delivering SpaceX’s Starlink broadband internet service to Ukraine. As Ukraine copes with the Russian invasion on the streets, most of the eastern European nation’s internet connection has been disrupted.
Elon Musk tweeted saying, “The Star Link service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route.”
Previously, the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedorov, requested Musk through Twitter to activate the Starlink Broadband service.
"While you try to colonize Mars, Russia try to occupy Ukraine!" Mykhailo Fedorov tweeted. "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."
Cybersecurity watchdog NetBlocks said Ukraine has seen a “series of significant disruptions to internet service” since Thursday when Russia launched military operations in the country.
