European Union countries are discussing covering the costs of providing Ukraine with Starlink internet, a Lithuanian official told Politico, which comes as Elon Musk’s rocket company SpaceX continues to pay for it but is looking for external funding to foot the bill for the service.

Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis told Politico in an interview that the topic of funding Ukraine’s Starlink service was raised during a meeting of the 27 EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Oct. 17.
