Starlink in Discussion with the United States to Provide Services to Ukraine

Washington, April 5 – Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon’s deputy spokesperson, said that the United States continues discussions with US billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink about providing satellite communications services to Ukraine.

“We continue to talk and interact with Starlink regarding services provided to Ukraine,” she told reporters at a press briefing.

Singh stressed that the Starlink service is still in use, but there are other opportunities from alternative service providers to provide Kiev with communication services.

At the end of March, the Ukrainian edition “Strana.ua” reported that a number of Starlink satellite communication stations had stopped working in Ukraine. It was noted that among the “refusals” were, among other things, the military. According to the publication, tens of thousands of stations are threatened with closure.

Starlink is a next-generation satellite network designed to provide broadband Internet access anywhere in the world.
