The US Agency for International Development said it delivered 5,000 of SpaceX’s Starlink terminals to Ukraine, bolstering internet access for residents following the Russian invasion.

"The terminals will allow public officials and critical citizen service providers to continue to communicate within Ukraine and with the outside world,” even if Russia severs other communications infrastructure in the country, the agency said in a statement Tuesday.
