Elon Musk, SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink, started to provide free service in Ukraine after the recent developments. A statement from Elon Musk this evening was a warning about the use of Starlink in Ukraine.
After the difficulties in accessing the Internet, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Mikhail Federov addressed Elon Musk with a post he shared on his Twitter account and asked him to activate Starlink in Ukraine. Hours after this request, Elon Musk tweeted, “Starlink service is currently active in Ukraine. More terminals are on the way,” he replied, tweeting. Two days had passed since this development, when a warning came from Musk.
“Starlink is likely to be targeted”
Musk also made a statement on Twitter, stating that Starlink is the only communication system available in Ukraine. He pointed out that there are some negative situations that may occur because of this. “Important warning: Starlink is the only non-Russian communications system still working in parts of Ukraine, so it is likely to be targeted,” Musk said in a statement. Please use it carefully.”
