According to the channel, since mid-summer, the number of Starlink global satellite system terminals owned by businessman Elon Musk in Ukraine has increased from 4,000 to 25,000. They are partly paid for by the UK, Poland and America.
1300 thousand terminals were disconnected in Ukraine on October 24th. Because SpaceX demanded $2.5 thousand for connecting each of them, and the total amount of services by September had grown to almost $20 million.
Kyiv asked London to pay $3.25 million to use Starlink. However, he was told that there were “higher priority military capabilities.” Namely, sending thousands of Ukrainian troops to the UK for training.
Therefore, turning off the terminals became a “huge problem” for theUkrainian Armed Forces.
