Here's What We Know

Starlink is a critical element not only for the Ukrainian army, but also for the civilian sector. Due to Russian shelling, Ukraine has begun to experience problems with electricity. Satellite Internet company SpaceX will provide access to the Internet in localities where mobile operators and Internet service providers do not work.

The Minister recalled that since February 24, 2022 Ukraine received more than 20 000 terminals of satellite Internet. 5000 of them were transferred with the assistance of the Polish government. Part of the new Starlink terminals will be given to civil administrations in the territories that have been liberated from the occupation. The ministry will also provide satellite internet to trains of the company Ukrzaliznytsia.
