ORLANDO, Fla. — After a Ukrainian official reached out to Elon Musk, the SpaceX founder said the company’s Starlink internet service was active in the country with plans to send more hardware as connectivity in the country has taken a hit since the Russian invasion.
The vice prime minister of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedorov, tagged Musk on Saturday in a post saying, “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.”
Musk reacted on Twitter, writing: “Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route.”
