Russia has declared full-fledged war on Ukraine, which is having a negative influence on communication lines in the conflict-torn country. However, all roads appear to lead to Elon Musk in this increasingly turbulent world. And it was clear on Saturday when he jumped on a phone chat with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Musk is reportedly delivering new Starlink satellite internet stations to some of Ukraine’s “destroyed cities,” according to Zelenskyy. SpaceX is delivering Zelenskyy terminals to Ukraine, according to Musk.
Zelensky said,
“Talked to @elonmusk. I’m grateful to him for supporting Ukraine with words and deeds. Next week we will receive another batch of Starlink systems for destroyed cities.”
Zelenskyy seemed pretty optimistic about Ukraine’s future to add, “Discussed possible space projects. But I’ll talk about this after the war.” There have been numerous internet disruptions in Ukraine, and Musk said a few days ago that he would activate Starlink satellite internet service in the country.
A few days ago, the Ukrainian Minister of Digital Transformation sent Musk a tweet pleading for help, “@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.”
Musk appeared to have picked up on the Minister’s words loud and clear. Keep an eye on Thirsty For News to get the latest update regarding this.
