While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand."
Musk responded to Federov, who's also digital transformation minister, "Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route."

More power to him if he can pull this off. But time is short. You're talking about getting a shit ton of equipment into a country at war and setting it up while keeping Russian hackers out of it. And if/when the Russians control the country, they now have all that Starlink gear. Lots to consider here.
