European Union Foreign Ministers are considering options for providing Ukrainians with satellite Internet.

On October 17, EU Foreign Ministers discussed the possibility of allocating funds to ensure the operation of the Starlink satellite communications system in Ukraine. This is what Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said in an interview with Politico.

The head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, “raised this topic” at the meeting and “some countries supported him,” the Lithuanian official said.

He believes that “it is better to conclude an agreement between a coalition of countries that can buy Starlink from Musk and give it to the Ukrainians.”

The Financial Times, citing sources, said Borell had ordered European officials to develop plans to expand Internet coverage in Ukraine. In particular, the EU is “exploring the possibility of discussing the conclusion of an agreement with SpaceX and the creation of a joint fund to pay for Starlink terminals.”

The sources of the publication note that the EU is also considering the possibility of contacting other companies on the issue of satellite Internet. The European Union believes that it “could be cheaper and more reliable” than in the case of SpaceX.


Starlink is SpaceX’s global satellite system for providing Internet access, founded by American billionaire Elon Musk.

As previously reported, SpaceX may stop funding the maintenance of the Starlink satellite communications system for Ukraine if the Pentagon does not accept these costs.

Later, the head of the company changed his mind. According to him, he will continue to finance the Starlink service in Ukraine for now.
