The SpaceX chief executive officer said over the weekend that Starlink, a satellite-based system designed to bring internet access to underserved areas of the world, was now "active" in Ukraine and more equipment to use it was on the way.

Ukraine has thanked tech billionaire Elon Musk after equipment to use SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service arrived in the country.

Mr Musk replied with "you are most welcome" after Ukraine's vice prime minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, expressed his thanks on Twitter.

Mr Fedorov also shared an image of the Starlink dishes on the back of a truck.

The vice prime minister had earlier asked Mr Musk for use of the service.

The SpaceX chief executive officer said over the weekend that Starlink was now "active" in Ukraine and more equipment to use it was on the way.

Starlink is a satellite-based internet system that SpaceX has been building for years to bring internet access to underserved areas of the world.

The terminals look like home satellite television dishes and can provide relatively fast internet service, by residential
standards, by connecting to a fleet of satellites in low orbit.

John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab project, has warned the terminals could become Russian targets.

He tweeted: "Re: @elonmusk's starlink donation. Good to see. But remember: if #Putin controls the air above #Ukraine, users' uplink transmissions become beacons ... for airstrikes."
