Poland Urges Elon Musk to Block Russian Military's Starlink Access

  • Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski urged Elon Musk to prevent the Russian military from using Starlink satellites.
  • The US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that Russia uses Starlink to guide drone attacks in Ukraine.
  • Sikorski directly appealed to Musk on X, stating that profiting from war crimes could harm his brand.
  • Musk denied selling Starlink terminals to Russia, but Ukrainian intelligence indicates Russia acquired them via third countries.
  • ISW noted Starlink-equipped BM-35 drones have a 500 km range, threatening Ukraine, Moldova, and parts of Poland, Romania, and Lithuania.

Why It Matters: Poland calls on Elon Musk to cut Russian military access to Starlink, citing its use in drone attacks.
