The Finnish-made satellite had 'a very important role' in Ukraine's recent attack on Russian vessels in Sevastopol, Kyiv's military intelligence agency said.
Ukraine has used a Finnish-made satellite bought through public donations to launch a number of strikes on Russian targets, including in Crimea, Kyiv's military intelligence agency has said.
Finnish technology start-up ICEYE said in mid-August 2022 that it had signed a contract with the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation, a Ukrainian organization heavily involved in fundraising for Ukraine's armed forces, to give Kyiv access to the company's satellite imaging capabilities. Throughout the past year, the ICEYE satellite"has brought many benefits in our fight for freedom," the GUR said in a statement on Wednesday.
