This is a bizarre headline to put on an article that describes the Chinese service as being a year and a half away from being able to replace Starlink, “not likely to benefit Ukraine in the long term,” and “more likely to give Russian soldiers in Ukraine internet services that Ukrainian soldiers have long enjoyed than they are to help Ukraine move beyond Starlink”
Insane headline, considering the article. Didn’t expect such a bad take from the Kyiv Independent.
Sometimes they do rather inappropriate copium pieces when shits looking particularly bleak. That doesn’t excuse it, but it does explain it.
I’d imagine that would be a win-win. For China and Russia.
…then I see it as lose/lose.
There’s one thing that may still work in Ukraine’s favour, and that’s that SpaceX got started because the Russians insulted Musk and refused to work with him.
Let’s hope Musk still holds that grudge.
Nah, he and Putin are 69 bros now
