ELON MUSK: STARLINK TERMINAL IS NOW ACTIVE IN UKRAINE
SATELLITE INTERNET ACCESS COULD THWART RUSSIAN ATTEMPTS TO CUT UKRAINE FROM THE
GLOBAL INTERNET.

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to rage on, the war is being fought
on multiple fronts — and one of these fronts is the internet. Russian forces
have severely disrupted internet functionality in Ukraine, and there are
legitimate concerns about the country (or large parts of the country) being
essentially severed from the internet.
In desperation, Ukrainian First Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov tweeted to
Elon Musk for help with his Starlink fleet.
Remarkably, it worked. Within hours, Musk replied: “Starlink service is now
active in Ukraine. More terminals en route.”

Fedorov tweeted his thanks to the billionaire, with the country’s official
Twitter account @Ukraine also acknowledging Musk’s actions, tweeting “Thanx
[sic], appreciate it”.
While costly to deploy, satellite technology can provide a much-needed internet
source for people who live in remote, rural, or disrupted areas. The technology
could also serve as a backup in the case of a natural or man-made disaster —
which is exactly the case in Ukraine right now.

I have read and agree to the terms & conditions.
Leave this field empty if you're human:
Starlink satellites are able to provide broadband Internet connections from
space, and having the satellites deployed above Ukraine means parts of the
country may enjoy internet connectivity without the risk of Russian
interference.
ADVERTISEMENT
YES, BUT
This does not mean Starlink internet is live for all of Ukraine. The move can
only provide internet to those with Starlink’s special receivers — these are the
“terminals” Musk was referring to.
We could not verify how many such terminals are in Ukraine right now or how many
more are “en route”. This remains a key question, and it is unclear whether
Starlink can make a significant amount of terminals available to Ukraine on such
short notice.
Without too many terminals, this is quite possibly a symbolic move rather than
one that will make a major difference, but with Ukrainians with their backs
against the wall, it could at least make a difference for some people.
Meanwhile, the situation of embattled Ukraine remains critical, and having
Internet connectivity and ensuring vital communication is quite possibly crucial
for the fate of the country.

MIHAI ANDREI
Andrei's background is in geophysics, and he's been fascinated by it ever since
he was a child. Feeling that there is a gap between scientists and the general
audience, he started ZME Science -- and the results are what you see today.
