Update 02\/28\/2022 04:25pm ET<\/strong>: Ukraine\u2019s Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov confirmed in a Tweet earlier today that Ukraine has received several Starlink terminals.<\/p>\n

The original story continues below.<\/p>\n

Amid Russia\u2019s ongoing illegal invasion of Ukraine, reports coming out of the on-defence country suggest that constant attacks have caused internet outages<\/a> in some parts of the nation, disabling the country from staying connected with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov requested SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to provide Ukrainians access to Starlink\u2019s internet connection.<\/p>\n

Later the same day, Musk replied to Fedorov\u2019s appeal, stating \u201cStarlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that Starlink satellites don\u2019t just magically beam internet to your phone or computers. Users need to have a receiving dish along with a Starlink router to access the internet.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up tweet, Fedorov clarified that Starlink terminals (dish) are currently on their way to Ukraine, and thanked Musk for the aid and for supporting the distraught nation. In addition, the country\u2019s official Twitter account also thanked the billionaire for the support.<\/p>\n
