Ukraine already receives 42,000 Starlink terminals

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has already received 42,000 Starlink satellite Internet terminals that provide critical infrastructure with communications.

Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology Development, and Minister of Digital Transformation said this in an interview with Ukrinform.

"Everything is working steadily. We are in constant communication with the company and respond promptly to everything. There are now 42,000 Starlink terminals in Ukraine that provide communications for power engineers, doctors and the military," the minister said.

Fedorov clarified that "the state has not spent a single penny on them," as everything was donated by international partners, who also pay for the equipment on preferential terms.

As reported, Starlink is a SpaceX project that provides access to broadband internet via a network of satellites. The speed of this Internet is up to 1 Gbps for each subscriber, and it can be used anywhere in the world.
