Ukraine has used a Finnish-made satellite bought through public donations to launch a number of strikes on Russian targets, including in Crimea, Kyiv's military intelligence agency has said.
"Exactly one year ago, on September 20, 2022, volunteers handed over the ICEYE spacecraft," Ukraine's GUR said in a post to social media on Wednesday.
Finnish technology start-up ICEYE said in mid-August 2022 that it had signed a contract with the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation, a Ukrainian organization heavily involved in fundraising for Ukraine's armed forces, to give Kyiv access to the company's satellite imaging capabilities.

Good move, anything to counter the Russian capability to destroy and continue with their aggressive moves. Wherever the Ukraine can get help to assist themselves on technical equipment to counter the Russian Threat is needed. Unless Russia has to pay a price they won't back off under Putin Leadership that's for sure.
