Poland calls on Musk to cut Russian military access to Starlink
Poland's foreign minister accuses Elon Musk of profiting from war crimes and demands cutting Russian military drone access to Starlink, which extends strikes over 500 km, ISW reports.
- On January 27, 2026, Radoslaw Sikorski, Poland's foreign minister and deputy prime minister, urged Elon Musk to cut Russian military access to Starlink after an Institute for the Study of War report.
- The ISW reported Russian forces use Starlink to extend BM-35 drones' 500-kilometre range, covering most of Ukraine, Moldova, and parts of Poland, Romania, and Lithuania.
- Sikorski accused Elon Musk on X of 'making money from war crimes' and urged stopping Russian Starlink use, while Musk called Sikorski ignorant and defended Starlink's role in Ukraine's military communications.
- This past week Ukraine reported some 165 drones unleashed overnight, while French Eutelsat is the only competitor to Starlink supporting Ukrainian communications.
- The development raises questions as Radoslaw Sikorski said Poland would seek other suppliers if SpaceX proves unreliable, while Ukrainian intelligence services report Russia obtained terminals via third countries.
