The contributions of Starlink satellite service by SpaceX to Ukraine may not continue long. According to papers acquired by CNN, SpaceX submitted a letter to the Defense Department in September alleging that the firm is “not in a position” to pay Starlink internet in Ukraine as it has in the past without tens of millions of dollars in monthly financing. The business predicted that data connectivity for the Ukrainian government and military would cost $124 million for the remainder of 2022 and about $380 million each year, and urged the Pentagon to assume responsibility for that funding.
