JAKARTA - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced on Saturday, March 5 that he has spoken with SpaceX's Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk, and stated that the country will receive more Starlink satellite internet terminals next week.

"Spoke to Elon Musk. I thank him for supporting Ukraine with words and deeds," Zelenskiy tweeted.

Musk said Thursday that Starlink is the only non-Russian communication system still functioning in parts of Ukraine after the Russian invasion.

However, Musk also reminded the Ukrainian people who use their satellite network to be more careful in placing the satellite dish that is used as a means of connecting the high-speed internet from Starlink.

This concern arose, because the Starlink satellite dish could be the target of an attack from the Russian side. Musk also reminded that the antenna should be placed hidden but must still be able to access the satellite easily.
