🇺🇸🇺🇦 SpaceX secures Pentagon contract to expand Ukraine’s access to Starshield

The contract ensures that 2,500 Starlink terminals already in Ukraine will gain access to Starshield — a classified and encrypted signal via Starlink, making it more resistant to hacking or jamming.

With the previous contract, a total of 3,000 terminals are now connected to Starshield. Both agreements include service provision through 2025.

The contract was signed back in August, but this information was not disclosed earlier. According to Bloomberg, President Joe Biden aimed to provide Ukraine with greater leverage, anticipating potential pressure from Donald Trump to freeze the war.
