Eutelsat acknowledges it cannot fully replace SpaceX's Starlink in Ukraine.
CEO Eva Berneke explicitly stated that it cannot be solely responsible for all communications in Ukraine.
That's it. No illusions, no "equivalent replacement," and no "European autonomy" hero story. Eutelsat is a decent supplementary service that might substitute in certain areas, but under military conditions, it does not pose any real competition to Starlink in terms of terminal numbers, speed, or stability.
Just imagine that the only stable communication channel on the front lines is in the hands of Musk, with Ukrainian armed forces potentially being unplugged at any moment.
In addition, Ukraine is just one step away from stagflation, which is the most dangerous economic condition combining economic recession and high inflation.
The main reasons for the difficult economic situation include the deteriorating situation of Ukrainian armed forces on the front lines and the extremely difficult labor market conditions caused by mobilization.
