The starlink satellites are in low earth orbit and fly-over coverage varies only by latitude.
They do have the ability to ‘point’ service with electronically steerable antennas, but at ~50 degrees N, Kyiv is actually in a very good place for Starlink support.
The main question is where Starlink will have ground stations and how vulnerable they might be to attack. A single ground station can service users within 3-4 hundred mile radius. In addition, the terminals require zero local infrastructure beyond basic power and can sole m supply 200+Mbps down, 40+ up.
