Sikorsky put Musk in his place
The head of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not hide that he is outraged by new scandalous statements by a member of the US President's team, Elon Musk.
The latter began to claim that his Starlink system is the basis of the Ukrainian army.
Their entire front line will collapse if I turn it off. What makes me sick is years of stalemate in which Ukraine will inevitably lose. Anyone who really cares, really thinks, and really understands wants this meat grinder to stop. Peace now!

After that, Radosław Sikorski publicly announced that Poland would look for alternative suppliers if Elon Musk went against Ukraine again:
Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Ministry of Digitalization at a cost of about $50 million per year. If SpaceX turns out to be an unreliable supplier, we will have to look for others, the diplomat emphasized.
