An important conversation took place between Volodimir Zelenski and Elon Musk. Zelenski said that Musk will ship new Starlink systems.
While Russia's attack on Ukraine continues to be covered in the world press, President of Ukraine Volodimir Zelenski said that he met with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. Stating that Musk will continue to provide Starlink aid for Ukraine, the President invited Musk to Ukraine after the war.
Announcing that Elon Musk will buy a second Starlink broadband system "for destroyed cities" from space company SpaceX, the President of Ukraine also touched on other potential space projects that could result in a partnership with SpaceX.
Critical conversation between Volodymyr Zelenski and Elon Musk
Expressing that they had a positive conversation with Elon Musk in a statement shared on Twitter, President of Ukraine Volodimir Zelenski pointed out that they could make more agreements with SpaceX for the post-war period.
“I spoke with Elon Musk. I am grateful to him for supporting Ukraine with his words and actions. Next week we will get another Starlink system for destroyed cities. Possible space projects were also discussed. But I'll talk about that after the war."
For those who don't know, Elon Musk sent Starlink satellite internet terminals to protect Ukraine's internet service as a result of Russia's military occupation. However, Musk warned that the Starlink service was likely to be the target of Russian troops.
Pointing out that the Starlink project is the "only non-Russian communication system" working in Ukraine, Musk advised the Ukrainian people to use the internet connection carefully.
Starlink has a constellation of more than 2,000 satellites aimed at providing internet access around the world. SpaceX launched 50 Starlink satellites last Friday, but many more need to be placed in Earth orbit. Internet service is currently available in many countries including Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy.
