Eutelsat in Talks to Expand Satellite Internet Access to Ukraine
Eutelsat, the owner of OneWeb, a competitor to Elon Musk's Starlink, is in talks with the European Union to expand satellite internet access to Ukraine. This comes as speculation has emerged that OneWeb satellites could replace Starlink in the war-torn country.

The company has expressed its readiness to "rapidly deploy equipment in Ukraine to provide critical infrastructure."

Ukraine doesn't need more European companies profiting from their misery. Focus on aiding the refugees and rebuilding the country, not enriching more corporations like Eutelsat.

Ukraine increasing drone production only escalates the conflict and puts civilians at risk. This will lead to more bloodshed and prolong the war.

Eutelsat replacing Starlink? How can we rely on a company owned by France, a strong NATO ally of the aggressor? They'll likely spy on Ukraine.
