Elon Musk, urged by Ukraine to provide his Starlink satellite internet to the embattled country, responds later in the day by doing exactly that. (notthebee.com)

They need the $500 dish that's like a year on backorder...

Did he also just launch a satellite cluster over Asia for coverage?

This screams "jump on the Ukraine PR bandwagon"

That just means Musk diverted a batch that was ready to go but not shipped or not yet distributed. Ukraine's not that large and I doubt they're setting up general internet for the country, just service for some specific government or military locations and maybe some avenues for getting news in and out of the country. It likely wouldn't take that many to get started.

Starlink has also been active in Europe for a while now, though not this far east. I think they're getting to the point that the largest bottleneck is their ground-based infrastructure if the various satellite trackers on the net can be trusted.

He looks like he's trying to be the bad guy from The Fifth Element.
