"The invaders wanted to" put down"the National Bank and the Cabinet of ministers." Zelensky on the role of the IT army and Starlink in the war

There are three armies in Ukraine: the people's Army, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the IT Army. Vladimir Zelensky in an interview with Wired told what IT specialists did on the cyberfront to protect the country, as well as how Starlink helps to keep in contact with the occupied territories.

The main thing is that the IT army has done a lot for the cyber defense of institutions that have been heavily attacked. According to Zelensky, the invaders wanted to "lay down" the National Bank and the Cabinet of ministers, as well as leave people without salaries, pensions, electricity and communications. However, the IT army thwarted these plans. Zelensky called IT specialists the Third Army: "we probably have several armies: our people's Army, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the IT Army." Starlink helped establish communication with the occupied territories and convey up-to-date information to people, in particular that the enemy did not destroy Ukraine. Details

The IT army of Ukraine attacked 1,800 enemy online resources during the Hundred Days of war with Russia.

Elon Musk's SpaceX aerospace company has officially registered a representative office of its Starlink satellite internet project called Starlink Ukraine in Ukraine. During the period of martial law, everyone was allowed to use Starlink terminals. About 150 thousand Ukrainians use this internet every day.
