Elon Musk activates Starlink satellites in Ukraine after plea from deputy PM

Elon Musk has responded to calls for help from Ukraine's deputy prime minister by activating his satellite-internet service Starlink in the country amid Russia's invasion.

Mykhailo Fedorov, who is also the nation's digital minister, tweeted the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, saying: "Elon Musk, while you try to colonise Mars - Russia tries 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."
