By KYIV. Jan 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov has said that as of Friday evening, 30,000 Starlink terminals had already been deployed in Ukraine.
"Thirty thousand Starlink terminals are already in Ukraine. The team of the Ministry of Digital Transformation is working 24/7 to provide even more terminals. International partners are helping in this. After all, Starlink terminals have become part of the critical infrastructure of Ukraine. Thanks to them, Ukrainians stay connected where the usual network does not work when the power goes out," Fedorov wrote in his Telegram channel.
He said that Poland helped to buy the last batch of 8,000 terminals for Ukraine.
"Hundreds of Starlink terminals from this batch are already working in Points of Invincibility across the country. Another part was handed over to power engineers and doctors. Yesterday I went to test satellite Internet in one of the Points of Invincibility from the State Emergency Service in Irpin," the minister said.
He thanked Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Secretary of State for Digital Affairs Janusz Cieszyński for providing terminals to Ukraine.
"Special thanks to the National Institute of Telecommunications and Orlen. Thanks to you, millions of Ukrainians stay connected!" Fedorov said.
