Elon Musk-owned Starlink offers internet services in Ukraine, Twitterati is all praises for billionaire

Starlink service is now active in Ukraine, Elon Musk said in a tweet.

New Delhi: Elon Musk-owned satellite internet service provider Starlink is now working in Ukraine, as the country faces Russian attempts aiming to lock internet services in the country.  

“Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route,” Elon Musk responded to a tweet by Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, in which he had urged the billionaire to help the country with Starlink’s internet services. 

“@elonmusk, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand,” Fedorov had said in an emotional request.

Soon after Musk’s announcement, many on social media are all praises for the world’s richest man, who has come in support for Ukraine in its war against Russia. Many thanked him for offering the services at such a crucial time when the war is being fought on the ground and in digital war rooms.
