Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski on Wednesday questioned whether Elon Musk was using Starlink for political purposes after Ukrainian officials alleged SpaceX had imposed speed restrictions on military Starshield terminals, disrupting drone operations. Ukrainian Presidential Adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov reported that terminals began losing service above approximately 100 miles per hour without prior warning. SpaceX has not commented on the allegation.
Sikorski noted that Poland subsidizes Ukraine's Starlink subscription and warned Musk that European customers were monitoring his actions. The incident marks another point of tension over Starlink's role in Ukraine's military operations and raises questions about service provision during the conflict.
