☝️ "You're playing politics again? We're watching you": Polish foreign minister threatened Musk over Starlink restrictions for the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski publicly addressed Elon Musk after SpaceX limited the operation of Starlink terminals while on the move in Ukraine.
"Hey, big man, are you playing politics with your products again? Like your European customers, we are watching you," Sikorski wrote. Poland also pays for some of the Starlink terminals used by Ukraine.
Recall that in March 2025 Sikorski publicly argued with Musk over Starlink for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He reminded that Poland pays about $50 million a year for satellite communications for Ukraine, and threatened to look for another supplier. Musk replied: "Shut up, little man. You pay a negligible part of the cost. And there is no replacement for Starlink." Later, Musk assured that he does not intend to cut off Starlink to Ukraine.
In August 2026 Sikorski again threatened to reconsider payments to SpaceX, this time over Poland’s exclusion from Starlink’s European roaming zone. He accused the company of discriminating against Polish users.
