The help came from Musk after the minister urged Mr Musk to provide Starlink stations in war-hit Ukraine where internet services were disrupted following military operations by Russia. ‘While you try to colonize Mars- Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations’, Mr Fedorov had tweeted at the SpaceX CEO.
The Starlink services provide access to broadband internet connections across the world. The company on Friday launched a further 50 Starlink satellites and many more are slated to be put into Earth’s orbit.
