SpaceX has officially activated its Starlink satellite broadband service in Ukraine. The Ukrainian vice prime minister and digital transformation minister have been pushing for SpaceX to offer satellite-based communications in their country after the Russian invasion disrupted internet connectivity. According to the company, the Starlink service is now active in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian government requested Starlink service and received the service within 10 hours. The Ukrainian vice prime minister tweeted to thank Musk for the news and congratulated him for his generosity.

More than 1,45,000 users are already using the internet. The company says that its laser satellite links ensure reliable internet coverage. However, many still wonder what exactly the Starlink service will consist of.

Although Starlink is a small satellite company, it operates an international network with more than 2,000 satellites in space. Despite the fact that the service has not yet been activated in Ukraine, the recent launch of 50 new satellites was a huge milestone for the company.

The company plans to continue expanding its network with additional Starlink satellites in the near future. The Starlink satellites will be required to provide power to the terminals.
