Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov addressed Elon Musk on Twitter with a request to provide Ukraine with access to satellite Internet.
– Elon Musk, while you are trying to colonize Mars – Russia is trying to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets are successfully landing from space, Russian rockets are attacking the civilian population of Ukraine! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and appeal to sane Russians to stand up,” the official wrote on Twitter.
So, Musk has a company called Starlink, which operates a huge number of satellites for wireless Internet around the planet. To connect to satellites, you need special equipment.
If the billionaire provides equipment to Ukraine, this will give access to the Internet from anywhere in the country.
Fedorov also turned to Facebook, Netflix, and also to Apple in order to block Russian media, as well as services and services on the territory of the aggressor country. The purpose of the appeal is not to deprive Russians of access to information, but to reach out to young people, a proactive and thinking population.
In the case of Apple, the politician asks the company to support sanctions from the US authorities, as well as a ban on uploading its Russian services to the App Store for smartphones and other gadgets of the company.
