Polish Foreign Ministry: Sikorski’s dispute with Rubio and Musk over Starlink sends positive signals to Ukraine
The dispute between Radoslaw Sikorski, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio has a number of positive aspects.
This was stated by Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Pawel Wronski, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.
"The most important thing from the point of view of Ukraine is a very strong statement by Secretary of State Rubio that no one intends to disconnect Starlink terminals for Ukraine. This was also later confirmed by Elon Musk. Therefore, there will no longer be such forms of pressure and influence on Ukraine that say, "we're going to cut off your electricity supply," or "if we cut off your electricity supply, it would be this or that," which could be perceived as more or less hidden threats, and this is how Minister Sikorski perceived it," he explained.
On the positive side, Vronsky noted that Rubio recognized that Russia's goal was to occupy all of Ukraine, it was not an accidental war. Therefore, Sikorski agreed with the U.S. Secretary of State that Russia attacked Ukraine, and if Ukraine is occupied, it will be a common defeat, including for the United States.
The third positive aspect, he said, was that the American society learned from the Starlink example that not only the United States is helping Ukraine financially, but that SpaceX "is not a charity."
What was the background?
As a reminder, Elon Musk, an American billionaire and head of the U.S. Government's Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), is convinced that Starlink is key for the Ukrainian Defense Forces because without it, the front line would collapse.
Afterward , Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski reacted to billionaire Elon Musk's statement: "If SpaceX turns out to be an unreliable supplier, we will have to look for others."
Later, Rubio responded to a post by his Polish colleague Radoslaw Sikorski, in which he reacted to billionaire Elon Musk's threats to cut off Starlink systems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Later, Musk assured that he would never stop Starlink's work in Ukraine.
