Why It Matters: In February, Fedorov had asked Musk for Starlink stations to help the nation remain connected to the internet. Musk delivered the stations to Ukraine the same month. 

The CEO of Tesla also offered free charging to Tesla and other EV owners fleeing Ukraine in February. 

Recently, Musk shipped Tesla Powerwalls to Ukraine for ambulant clinics in Irpin and Borodyanka, which earned him praise from Fedorov.

Price Action: On Friday, Tesla shares closed 0.8% lower at $870.76 in the regular session and rose 0.8% in the after-hours trading, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
