Quote: "Developments are underway. We are working on something similar to Starlink."

Details: Zelenskyy emphasised that it would be fair to allow Ukraine to use Starlink satellite internet for strikes inside Russia.

"Why fair? Because we know that certain states will share relevant technologies with Russia at the end of this year or the beginning of next year," Zelenskyy explained.

The president added that Ukraine is grateful for the technologies it currently has access to, saying: "We gave corresponding signals as to why we need the continuation of this programme – because the Chinese will share with Russia."

Background: Zelenskyy previously said he has called on his US counterpart Donald Trump to impose sanctions on Russian and Chinese companies that he says are involved in developing the Rassvet satellite network, a potential competitor to Elon Musk's Starlink.
