Good move and if we're lucky some of their coverage will spill over into Russia so that they can see the truth.

Musk's actions were in response to a plea from a senior Ukrainian government official for him to provide more Starlink stations to the country.
"While you try to colonize Mars -- Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space -- Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand," tweeted Mykhailo Fedorov, the vice prime minister of Ukraine and minister of digital transformation.
@elonmusk, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand.

Starlink is the company's growing network of private, orbital satellites that aims to provide internet connections to everyone on the planet. The prototype satellites launched into orbit in 2018 and the company has since deployed nearly 2,000 Starlink satellites into orbit across dozens of successful launches.
The satellite-based service provides an alternative to land-based systems that can often be difficult to deploy in remote areas or are otherwise vulnerable to interruption by military action or natural disaster."
