Which includes the ground stations that Starlink uses.
Still works over Ukraine somehow... Maybe that fancy satellite network just carries it to the next available ground station?
It works, only if Elon wants it to work. Did you forget he shut it off during the war, several times?
Sure, that's a fault of Elon though, not a fault of satellite networks.
We are talking about Starlink here, correct? Owned by Elon?
That said, all satellite networks are subject to dying if their ground-stations are taken offline, so if "all the fiber for a country goes down", so does Starlink.
