Fedorov reveals how many Starlink terminals are operating in Ukraine
Ukrainian government agencies use around 42,000 Starlink satellite internet terminals.
Ukrainian Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhaylo Fyodorov told Deutsche Welle.
According to the minister, 42,000 Starlink satellite communication terminals operate in Ukrainian government agencies. At the same time, the government does not spend a penny on their operation. All these terminals are paid for by international partners.
All Starlink Ukraine has received through our team, which cooperates with the governments of other countries. SpaceX provides logistics, partners help financially, we get a special price already with a subscription fee.
In addition, Fedorov once again stressed that Ilon Musk's SpaceX is one of the biggest private donors, whose contribution to the fight against Russian aggression is estimated at over $100m.
Earlier, SpaceX said that Starlink would not be able to be used by the Ukrainian army for the offensive. Fedorov claims that there are no problems with the functionality of the terminals today.
