The richest man of the world is playing a crucial role in Ukrainian front. In the ground, all communications, from artillery strikes to Zoom calls, are being built with the help of Starlink satellites flying over Ukraine as low as 130 miles
SpaceX aims to launch more than 40.000 satellites in low Earth orbit to provide high-speed internet on Earth. Installing 5.000 satellites quickly above Eastern Europe ready to be used failed the Russian plan of cutting Ukraine off from the world. In early days of the offensive, Ukraine internet provider stations were heavily damaged or destroyed. The importance of the internet connection was crucial and so, Ukrainian vice prime minister, Fedorov, tweeted directly at the tech magnate to send Starlink stations to Ukraine. Two days later the first shipment arrived
Since then, thanks to Elon Musk, all communications around the country and with the world are easy to hold. President Zelenskyy can talk to all the world leaders; give speeches via Zoom; inform his allies of the current situation, at the same time, Ukrainian soldiers can keep contact with their loved ones; commanders; and friends even when they were surrounded by Russian soldiers in Azovstal in the besieged factory
