Starlink is now active in Ukraine, Elon Musk announced after Ukraine’s vice prime minister on Saturday requested the SpaceX billionaire help the embattled country with communication satellites.
“Starlink service is now active in Ukraine,” Musk tweeted about 10 hours after the call for help. “More terminals en route.”
The response came after Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov asked for the controversial business magnate for Starlink stations.
“@elonmusk, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people!” Fedorov, also the country’s Ministry of Digital Transformation, tweeted “We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand.”
I'm sure those will be a target. Hopefully they have some redundancies. If electric is taken out entirely the internet connection will be short-lived.
Not if it's satellite driven. It's one of the reasons why the Black Hawk Down incident wasn't so easy. The warlords had access to satellite phones that didn't have to rely on a grounded grid. This is the whole point behind Starlink. I'm also sure there are battery packs and solar power available to get the streaming up and online!
The only way about this now would be for either the US or China to start shooting Elon Musks satellites down.

I know there was a big battle going on for a dam.. So they are trying to hold the electrical infrarstructure at the moment.. I believe Ukraine has control of all those reactors... Russia has only taken chernobyl .. most seem in the west and south
