SpaceX continues to fund Starlink in Ukraine – IT Pro – News

“Ukraine knows that its current government and wartime efforts are totally dependent on Starlink,” bron: CNN

Despite all the news, Musk is simply one of Ukraine’s biggest supporters, both financially and in terms of critical infrastructure. Furthermore, Musk and the government in Ukraine are simply in contact with each other. The reports and speculations you read do not actually reflect the relationship between SpaceX / Musk and Ukraine.

Certainly @elonmusk is among the largest private donors in the world in support of Ukraine.
Starlink is an essential element of our critical infrastructure.

“who has sympathy for the illegal referendums that have been held”

Sorry, but the way you equate a referendum proposal with sympathy for illegal the referendum is really disgusting.

I am also surprised that Starlink plays such a crucial role. You would say that communication technology is already present in such an army.

Starklink technology is unique, there is no country or army in the world that has the same capabilities that Starlink can offer.

but I can’t even imagine that huge bandwidths are needed.

Last May they were already talking about it 7 terabytes downlink, this will probably be many times higher by now. For a satellite infrastructure, that’s nothing.

More than seven months into the war, it is difficult to overstate the impact Starlink has had on Ukraine. The government of Kiev, even Ukrainian troops, NGOs and civilians have relied on the agile, compact and easy-to-use units created by SpaceX. It is not only used for voice and electronic communication, but to help fly drones and send videos to correct artillery fire.
