Elon Musk has won the hearts of people all over the globe with his recent approval of a
“request!”
After Ukraine appealed to Elon Musk to provide Starlink in the war-torn country amid
continuous attacks by Russia, the SpaceX CEO kept his word and sent the terminals for the
satellite broadband service. Now, Musk is being praised online for his prompt action.
Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s vice-prime minister and the minister of digital transformation,
shared a photo on Twitter of a batch of additional terminals that can be used to access
SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service.
As Russian missiles wreak havoc in various Ukrainian cities, communication networks and
the internet have also been hit. On Saturday, Fedorov made a plea directly to Musk.
While most people appreciated Musk’s efforts to send in resources swiftly, others wondered
if Starlink can be a magic fix in the current situation.

According to SpaceX’s website, it requires a “clear view of the sky” to maintain a strong
connection with the satellites. “Objects that obstruct the connection between your Starlink
and the satellite, such as a tree branch, pole, or roof, will cause service interruptions,” the
website read.
This act is being celebrated all over the world with people hailing it as “capitalism connecting the world” “victory of humanity” etc.
