L’Ukraine call and Elon Musk he replies. While Vladimir Putin launched the Russian invasion by speaking on TV for 50 minutes with a speech that started with the concessions made by Lenin to the territories of the Soviet Union, the government of Kiev is responding to the Moscow offensive with the social communication. Not just the videos and tweets of Volodymyr Zelensky to incite resistance and tell all the relationships with the other leaders of the western axis. In less than 120 charactershis deputy with responsibility for digital transformation, Mykhailo Fedorovhe also managed to get practical support from Elon MuskTesla’s patron, to secure coverage of Network with Langa band should it jump into the country making communications complicated.
Fedorov addressed a appeal to Musk, chief financial officer of the aerospace company SpaceX: “While you try to colonize Mars, Russia tries to occupy Ukraine. As your rockets successfully land from space, i Russian rockets they attack the Ukrainian civilian people. We ask you to supply the stations to Ukraine Starlink and to turn to sane Russians to rebel ”.
Starlink is the project of the American visionary who guarantees access to the Internet through a constellation Of satellites miniaturized – there are already more than 1.800 – which orbit in the lower atmosphere. A request that did not fall on deaf ears. Repeatedly mentioned in the comments by users of Twitter asking for an answer, after a few hours Musk announced that he had decided to activate his service: “The Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. Other terminals on the way “. One way to guarantee communications via the Internet in the country that risks – and is already partly happening – to find itself with problems of connection.
Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route.
