SpaceX Starlink user terminals arrive in Ukraine, officials says
CNN
A shipment of Starlink user terminals — small antennas that allow customers to access SpaceX's satellite-based internet service — arrived in Ukraine Monday, providing a back stop for Ukrainians who may see their traditional service interrupted amid the Russian invasion.
SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk announced Saturday that he had activated Starlink internet service in Ukraine as the country suffered power outages and gaps in internet service due to Russia's invasion. Musk also promised at the time that more were "en route."
The support from SpaceX arrived after Ukraine's vice prime minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, who is also Ukraine's minister of digital transformation, tweeted a plea to Musk over the weekend: "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."
