Denmark is donating European-produced satellite services to Ukraine\u2019s defense through the European Defence Agency <\/b>(EDA).<\/p>\n
Denmark is providing Ukraine with satellite receiver terminals for access to satellite-based communications, the Danish Ministry of Defence<\/strong> announced this week. The MoD did not specify a specific satellite operator or equipment provider, only that the services are produced in Europe. <\/p>\n The European Defence Agency said the framework it provided can help diversify satellite communication service usage over Ukraine. EDA expects that more EU countries will follow suit and consider similar donations.<\/p>\n \u201cSpace is a domain that is increasingly calling for defense policy attention. Denmark has now contributed to strengthening Ukraine\u2019s satellite-based communications in their defense against Russia,\u201d commented Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen. \u201cThere is a very large potential in space-based solutions that can contribute to both Ukrainian, Danish, and European defense,\u201d Poulsen added.<\/p>\n Ukraine has relied on SpaceX\u2019s Starlink internet service in the war, and European leaders have called for the EU to invest in European alternatives to Starlink. Eutelsat\u2019s Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) services are deployed in Ukraine supporting government and institutional communications. <\/p>\n \u201cSuch a donation contributes to promoting both Ukraine\u2019s and Europe\u2019s technological strategic autonomy and freedom of action in space. Satellites play a crucial role in modern defense today,\u201d EDA said in a statement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Denmark is donating European-produced satellite services to Ukraine\u2019s defense through the European Defence Agency (EDA).
