Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, finds himself at the center of controversy following a series of tweets concerning the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. On Sunday, Musk tweeted, “Be quiet, small man,” a comment that followed his bold assertion about Starlink’s critical role in Ukraine’s defense.

Eutelsat has the infrastructure to expand its role in Ukraine, whose troops rely on Starlink for internet connectivity to operate drones, secure messaging, and real-time coordination

Joanna Darlington, Chief Communications and Investor Relations Officer for Eutelsat, told The Register that, over Europe, Eutelsat offers the same capabilities as Starlink in terms of coverage and latency, and the company's LEO services were already deployed in Ukraine.
