Ukraine received a shipment of Starlink terminals on Monday, less than 48 hours after SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the service was activated in Ukraine to alleviate some of the internet disruptions the country is experiencing amid Russia's invasion.
Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov tweeted a photo of a truckload of Starlink terminals around 10:00 p.m. in Ukraine on Monday evening, confirming that they had arrived. Musk previously said on Saturday that Starlink was active in Ukraine and terminals were en route after Fedorov reached out to him on Twitter.
Oleg Kutkov, an engineer who is based in Kyiv, tweeted that Starlink was working in Ukraine on Monday evening with download speeds of 137 megabits per second. Ukraine experienced periodic internet outages last week as Russian forces invaded from the north, south, and east, according to internet monitor NetBlocks.
