Elon Musk answers Ukrainian plea to switch on his Starlink satellite network
Elon Musk answers Ukrainian vice prime minister's plea to switch on his Starlink satellite network so locals can access internet even if Russia destroys local telecoms system
SpaceX billionaire Elon Musk said on Saturday that the company's Starlink satellite broadband service is available in Ukraine
Musk also tweeted that SpaceX is sending more terminals to the country, whose internet has been disrupted due to the Russian invasion
'Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route,' Musk tweeted
He was responding to a tweet by a Ukraine government official who asked Musk to provide the embattled country with Starlink stations
Internet connectivity in Ukraine has been affected by the Russian invasion, particularly in the southern and eastern parts of the country
Officials think internet access can help defeat Russian propaganda, and expose atrocities being carried out by Putin's troops
While extremely costly to deploy, satellite technology can provide internet for people who live in rural or hard-to-serve places
