By KYIV. Nov 29 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine plans to purchase several thousand more Starlink satellite communications terminals.
"Now we are talking about the opportunity to buy a new large batch of thousands of Starlink for Ukraine. I get feedback very quickly. I see that they (SpaceX) want to help us and do it," said Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
He noted that with the assistance of his team, a total of more than 22,000 Starlinks were brought to Ukraine.
"We have direct communication with SpaceX and direct communication with Elon Musk … Despite public discussions on funding, Musk both publicly and in our communication assured that Starlink will work in any situation, even despite emerging financial issues," Fedorov stressed.
In addition, according to him, some problems with the operation of Starlink previously observed in the temporarily occupied territories or in the war zone have already been eliminated.
