SpaceX has asked the Pentagon to fund the Ukraine government and military's use of Starlink broadband, saying the Elon Musk-led company can't afford to donate more user terminals or pay for operations indefinitely, CNN reported.

"We are not in a position to further donate terminals to Ukraine, or fund the existing terminals for an indefinite period of time," SpaceX's director of government sales wrote to the Pentagon in a September letter, according to CNN. The letter "requested that the Pentagon take over funding for Ukraine's government and military use of Starlink, which SpaceX claims would cost more than $120 million for the rest of the year and could cost close to $400 million for the next 12 months."
