to single combat
Stakes are Україна
Musk had already given internet connectivity to Ukraine via his Starlink satellites.
The decision occurred in response to a request from Ukraine’s deputy prime minister to assist the country in maintaining internet connection during the Russian invasion.
The service uses a constellation of more than 2,000 satellites to deliver internet connectivity to people all around the world.
Since the Russian invasion, the web monitoring group NetBlocks has documented a series of substantial internet service outages in Ukraine.
Last week, Musk stated that “certain Starlink terminals near combat regions were congested for several hours at a time.”
“SpaceX has shifted its focus to cyber protection and signal jamming. Starship and Starlink V2 will experience minor delays as a result.”
Starlink, on the other hand, has declared that it will not restrict Russian media outlets “unless under duress.”
