I’ve seen Eutelsat mentioned as a European competitor, wiki says they mostly handle TV transmissions but “also serve […] mobile communications, Internet backbone connectivity and broadband access for terrestrial, maritime and in-flight applications”.
I’m not sure why they wouldn’t be able to provide Ukraine what they need, I don’t know if they are at the same technical level as starlink or not. That wiki page also says “As of March 2025, the company stated that it offers the same capacities as Starlink in Europe. However the operation of Eutelsat terminals is many times more expensive than that of Starlink.”
