And say thank you because without Starlink Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now. Details Sikorski has previously stated that Poland would have to seek an alternative provider if SpaceX proved to be an unreliable supplier of Starlink satellite services.
Background Earlier, Musk claimed that the Ukrainian front line would collapse if he decided to switch Starlink off.
Poland has already warned that a potential disconnection of Ukraines Starlink access by Elon Musk could trigger a major international crisis.
Meanwhile, the European Commission is reportedly exploring ways to assist Ukraine in securing satellite communication in response to concerns over possible disruptions to Starlink services.
