Verbatim: "Two Starlink devices have been provided to the Ministry of Digital Transformation. Volodymyr (Klichko) and I have agreed with international partners and friends on 10 [of them]. Starlink will work to help ensure the work of the city's critical infrastructure and the capital's defence".

Background: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov asked the American businessman Elon Musk to provide Ukraine with access to Starlink's high-speed internet. Musk responded and sent equipment to Ukraine. 

On 28 February, the first Starlink terminals, according to Federov, arrived in Ukraine.

Federov asked companies for generators to provide energy for the Starlink satellite internet stations. A day later, Elon Musk responded that the company had resolved the issue.
