Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, announced that Starlink, the company's internet service, is now available in Ukraine and additional terminals are being sent to the country.

Internet disruptions have been reported in Ukraine as Russian troops advance and missiles hit key infrastructure. NetBlocks confirmed on Thursday that the monitoring group had tracked disruptions across much of the country, including the capital city Kyiv.

On Saturday, a Ukrainian government official inquired if Elon Musk would offer additional Starlink stations to the country.

As you attempt to colonize Mars, Russia is occupying Ukraine. While your rockets successfully land from space, Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civilians. We urge you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to appeal to rational Russians to stand.

Starlink service is now active in Ukraine, with more terminals on the way, as Musk announced via Twitter on Saturday.

Starlink aims to enhance internet speed globally, commencing with enhancing internet access in regions devoid of broadband providers.

People can connect to the internet through a satellite dish positioned on or near their property, as the internet is beamed down to the dish via a network of Starlink satellites launched by SpaceX and ground stations.
