> Satellite terminals donated by Mr Musk's SpaceX, as well as the US government and private donors To this day the number of terminals supposedly _donated_ by Musk, that means not paid for by State Dep, is unknown. We do have this tho https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/08/us-quietly-paying-millions-send-starlink-terminals-ukraine-contrary-spacexs-claims/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/08/us-quietl... As of October 2022 there were 18k Starlink terminals in Ukraine. At the time State Department (USAID) paid for ~2K units, Poland paid for >12K units - over half of all terminals came from one relatively poor EU country, curious how this is omitted by Telegram :) December 2022 number rose to 22K. Apparently as of June 2023 there are >40K terminals in use, with USAID share rising to at least ~5K.
