"Access to the Internet is a lifesaver for local residents and allows the rest of the world to know what is happening in Ukraine.
Starlink closes the gap where there is no longer access to the Internet due to the destroyed civilian infrastructure. Germany will provide EUR20 million for this purpose. In total, 10,000 ground stations could be financed with these funds.
A third of the ground stations will also benefit the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Real-time communication allows Ukrainian soldiers to coordinate the defense of the Motherland and better defend against Russian attacks," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

Over 10,000 devices will be shipped to Ukraine in the coming months. According to Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has already received 22,000 Starlinks.
