Billionaire Elon Musk says his Starlink satellite internet service is active in Ukraine in response to a request on social media from the Ukraine government.
Internet services across the country have seen "significant disruptions" due to Russian military operations and the ensuing fighting.
Ukraine's vice PM, Fedorov Mykhailo - who is also the minister of digital transformation - tweeted to the SpaceX founder: "While you try to colonise 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 and to address sane Russians to stand."
