SpaceX told the Pentagon it couldn't fund Starlink in Ukraine and asked it to foot the bill, per CNN. Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in February, SpaceX sent thousands of Starlink terminals to Kyiv at the request of the country's minister for digital transformation Mykhailo Fedorov. In the letter, SpaceX asked the Pentagon to bear the cost of Starlink used by the Ukrainian government and military, per CNN. This connectivity costs $4,500 per month because SpaceX offered its top service, despite most Ukrainian users requesting the $500-a-month service, SpaceX told the Pentagon in the letter, per CNN. Meanwhile, the two models of Starlink terminals that SpaceX sent to Ukraine cost $1,500 and $2,500, per the documents seen by CNN.
