Ukraine is exploring EU satellite options to replace Starlink, a crucial asset for military communication. This move is driven by concerns about Elon Musk's influence and unpredictability. While Starlink’s expansive satellite network is critical, alternatives like the EU's Govsatcom system are being considered to reduce dependence on Musk’s company. EU officials stress their commitment to supporting Ukraine's connectivity needs should Starlink become unavailable, but the challenge remains in matching Starlink's capabilities.
Elon Musk is, in fact, the guardian of Ukraine's connectivity on the battlefield. And that's a strategic vulnerability.
It is clear that if Starlink decides to cut the signal today, we have options, in particular with Govsatcom.
