Poland reassures Ukrainians about Starlink
This was written about on the social network X by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digitalization of Poland Krzysztof Gawkowski.
Poland bought Starlink terminals, which it transferred to Ukraine. We pay and will continue to pay a subscription fee for satellite Internet for Ukraine. I cannot imagine that someone could decide to terminate a business contract for the provision of a commercial service to which Poland is a party.
Polska kupiła Starlinki, które przekazała Ukrainie. Płacimy i dalej będziemy płacić abonament za internet satelitarny dla Ukrainy. Nie wyobrażam sobie, że ktoś może zdecydować się na zerwanie umowy biznesowej za usługę komercyjną, której stroną jest Polska.

As reported, Reuters previously wrote that American negotiators, in the context of the minerals agreement, raised the issue of the possibility of restricting Ukraine's access to Space X's Starlink satellite internet system.
Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, commented on the information about the alleged possibility of disabling the Starlink satellite Internet system, noting alternatives. According to him, "firstly, they are not disabling it, and secondly, there are alternative things that are working on the front line."
