Poland said on Saturday it has been paying for Ukraine's Starlink subscription and will continue to do so despite sources saying the United States could consider cutting Ukraine's access to the satellite internet system, APA reports citing Reuters.
U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Starlink provides crucial internet connectivity to the war-torn country and its military.
"We pay and will continue to pay a subscription fee for satellite internet for Ukraine," Poland's Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said in a post on Musk-owned social media platform X.
"I cannot imagine that someone could decide to terminate a business contract for a commercial service to which Poland is a party," added Gawkowski, who is also Poland's digital affairs minister.
