Elon Musk Reaffirms Starlink Support for Ukraine Amid Tensions with Poland

Musk declares Starlink's critical role in Ukraine's defense while dismissing alternatives and engaging in heated exchanges with Polish officials.

Elon Musk confirmed Starlink will continue providing satellite internet to Ukraine, despite earlier doubts and his disagreements with Ukrainian policies.
The billionaire described Starlink as the 'backbone' of Ukraine's military communications, claiming the front line would collapse without it due to Russian interference with other networks.
Musk clashed with Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, who highlighted Poland's financial contributions to Starlink services for Ukraine; Musk dismissed this as a minor share of costs.
European nations, including Ukraine, are exploring alternatives like Eutelsat's OneWeb satellites to reduce reliance on Starlink, though experts note limitations in capability and availability.
The debate over Starlink reflects broader geopolitical tensions, as the U.S. under Donald Trump has reduced military aid to Ukraine, complicating its defense efforts.
