After people in areas without internet access were told their country "does not exist anymore" by invading troops, President Zelenskyy praised Musk's Starlink.
In war-torn Ukranian where many cell towers have been destroyed, Starlink is a constellation of satellites that helps provide internet coverage.
Zelenskyy said in an interview that the satellite network has been effective.
He said that it helped them a lot in relation to the blockade of our cities, towns, and occupied territories.
Sometimes we didn't communicate with those places. Losing contact with those people is like losing control. People who got out of the occupied cities, where there was no assistance like Starlink, said that the Russians told them that the country doesn't exist anymore. The Ukrainian leader said he was grateful for the support.
The "IT Army" fought Russian cyberattacks on Ukrainian infrastructure thanks to internet connections.
It has been a target. Insider reported in May that Starlink has been able to resist Russia's hacking attempts.
On Friday was the 100 day anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
