After Ukraine’s SOS, Elon Musk said that his company would activate its Starlink service in Ukraine.
“Starlink service is now active in Ukraine, more terminals en route.” Musk tweeted in response to Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, just hours after his request.
“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,” Fedorov wrote in a tweet.
Ukraine has been facing a series of significant disruptions to internet service since the Russian military operations began in the country.
SpaceX’s Starlink operates a constellation of over 2,000 satellites to provide internet access across the globe.
