The U.S. Agency for International Development has delivered 5,000 of Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starlink terminals to Ukraine, increasing the country’s internet access in the midst of Russian invasion.

“The terminals will allow public officials and critical citizen service providers to continue to communicate within Ukraine and with the outside world,” the agency said in a statement overnight.

Musk himself has already sent “thousands” of these terminals to Ukraine himself, after Ukrainian official Mykhailo Fedorov asked the SpaceX CEO to activate the service in the country and provide the terminals.

France and Poland have also funded a number of Starlink terminals for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Australia has pledged $70 million in what (current) PM Scott Morrison called “lethal military assistance to support the defence of Ukraine”, including missiles and weapons.

“We will also provide a range of non-lethal military equipment and medical supplies in response to a specific request from the Ukrainian Government,” the PM announced last month.

“Australia will also commit immediate humanitarian assistance of an initial $35 million to help meet the urgent needs of the Ukrainian people. This assistance will deliver lifesaving services and supplies, including the provision of shelter, food, medical care and water.

“Our lethal and non-lethal military assistance, along with our humanitarian funding, are in addition to the significant sanctions we have already imposed on Russia.”
