In an interview with RBC-Ukraine, Foreign Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said that despite the large number of Starlink terminals, more is needed.

Fedorov emphasized that thanks to the Starlink terminals available today, he managed to meet the needs of critical infrastructure and medical field.

After the evacuation of Kyiv and Chernihiv oblasts, new needs arose due to problems with fixed internet and mobile towers. Today, many providers are powered by Starlink to keep their entire networks working. Many small settlements and villages use it to have any connection,
– said the Minister.

At the same time, Fedorov noted that as long as hostilities continue on the territory of Ukraine, the country will need more terminals, and he spoke of thousands of units in addition to the already existing ones.

Starlink is actively used to repair damaged infrastructure

Starlink terminals now help quickly repair damaged network nodes and provide both military and critical civilian infrastructure in the worst-affected areas.

For example, Vodafone, Lifecell and others have already successfully used Starlink equipment to repair damaged network elements. In particular, he emphasized that with the help of Vodafone Starlink, it is possible to very quickly restore destroyed and damaged components, the repair of which will require a lot of resources and even in conditions of increased danger.
