U.S. Embassy confirms delivery of 5,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine

USAID has delivered 5,000 Starlink terminals to the Government of Ukraine.

“USAID has delivered 5,000 Starlink Terminals to the Government of Ukraine through a partnership with SpaceX. Starlinks are satellite terminals that will enable unlimited, unthrottled data connectivity from anywhere in Ukraine. These terminals will allow public officials and critical citizen service providers to continue to communicate within Ukraine and with the outside world amidst Russia’s invasion,” the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine posted on Facebook.

As reported, SpaceX founder Elon Musk agreed to the request of Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov to provide Ukraine with Starlink terminals and access to satellite Internet.

Musk activated Starlink services for Ukraine in February and began supplying terminals.

Earlier, the media reported that the U.S. Government would provide financing and delivery of 5,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine.
