The Kremlin remained silent for the time being.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met earlier this month to discuss "potential space initiatives." "Talked to Elon Musk," Mr Zelensky stated in a tweet. I appreciate his comments and actions in support of Ukraine. We'll get another round of Starlink systems for devastated cities next week. Possible space initiatives were discussed. But after the conflict, I'll talk about it."
Elon Musk has also supplied internet access to Ukraine after the country's network was interrupted by Russia's military incursion. After Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister, requested assistance, Tesla's Starlink internet terminals were transported to the war-torn region.

"While you want to colonise Mars, Russia tries to occupy Ukraine," Mr Fedorov remarked in a tweet. Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civilians as your rockets successfully land from space. We request that you give Starlink stations to Ukraine."
Mr Fedorov posted a photo of the truck and a thank you message to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk when the Starlink internet terminals arrived in Ukraine.
"You are really welcome," Elon Musk answered.
