How reliant is Ukraine on the US-controlled Starlink internet service?

Ukraine is increasingly reliant on the US-controlled Starlink internet service, with many citizens and government institutions using it as a primary means of communication and connectivity. This reliance is particularly evident in the country's rural areas, where traditional internet infrastructure is often limited or non-existent. If Starlink were to go down, Ukraine's economy and critical infrastructure would likely suffer significant disruptions, impacting trade and daily life.

Why it matters

Ukraine's warnings about Starlink restrictions indicate a significant dependence on the satellite internet system. This dependence could impact Ukraine's communication and economic activities.
