SpaceX said he worked “actively ve to solve the problem and thanked the customers for patience.

Ukraine suffered from the Starlink outage
The deduction caused particularly concern in Ukraine, where a military resource with a “Shadow” call sign said that Starlink stopped working on the front.
The service played a vital role in the conflict of Ukraine with Russia and gave powerful communication capabilities in areas where normal networks have fallen. He also helped support drone strikes and coordinate artillery.
WHY STARLINK FALLED?
Doug Madory from the Internet Analysis Company Kentik said that the interruption started around 15:13 ET (19:30 GMT) and that the events of this scale were rare. “There hasn’t been such a one in a long time,” he said to Reuters.
Nervous Starlink users went to social media to express their anger. One of them was published: “Will you pay us back to us for this big deduction that dismissed me?” Another complained: “I couldn’t attend a meeting, now I’m having a serious problem. You owe us a refund.”
