Well yes, but creating satellite internet isn't that easy, especially when you don't have a government as rich as the U.S government giving you billions in subsidies.

It sounds like U lived under a rock for the last 40 years, corporation’s always get our tax monies in subsidies and give u nothing welcome to America

I hope Europe can provide Ukraine with a connection somehow.

Should have made a deal with them about that then and not rely on a how one man is feeling that day for critical infrastructures 

It's about long range military drones, not critical infrastructure.

Using Starlink with drones went beyond the scope of an agreement SpaceX has with the Ukrainian government, Shotwell said, adding the contract was intended for humanitarian purposes such as providing broadband internet to hospitals, banks and families affected by Russia's invasion.

"We know the military is using them for comms, and that's ok," she said. "But our intent was never to have them use it for offensive purposes." Reuters

Critical infrastructure includes the vast network of highways, connecting bridges and tunnels, railways, utilities and buildings necessary to maintain normalcy in daily life. Transportation, commerce, clean water and electricity all rely on these vital systems. Looking at this definition, long range drones don't fall under critical infrastructure.
