Thanks to Washington, money is now part of the US talks with European countries. Radosław Sikorski reminded that we pay for Starlinki for Ukraine. Now Americans say that nobody talked about their exclusion. Until recently, the words that were said to exchange the sentences of allies would be unthinkable.
On Monday in Warsaw, a system was presented for the quick construction of UBM infrastructure facilities. Polish and American officials were present on it. The atmosphere was good. – The Polish-American alliance is really very strong- assured Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
It is no accident that the secretary of defense was the first to visit Poland – we heard. “It was a clear signal of excellent relationships between our countries,” said Daniel Lawton, Charge d'Affaires of the United States embassy in Poland.
UBM is part of the systemat quick construction of shelters and warehouses, which will be used to create an East shield on the Polish eastern border.
– Our raison d'etat is that the neighbors who are around Poland, that they are countries that are safe, which are sovereign – pointed out Cezary Tomczyk, deputy minister of national defense from the Civic Coalition.
Exchange of entries between Sikorski and Musk
This is a commentary on the exchange of internet entries: Elon Musk wrote that the Ukrainian Front would fall if he turned off his Starlink system and added that it is tired of a long -term slaughterhouse that Ukraine will lose. In response, Radosław Sikorski wrote that Poland pays $ 50 million a year for Ukrainian Starlinki and you may have to look for other suppliers. In response, he read that he is a little man, he is supposed to be quiet, and there is no alternative to Starlinek.
– Musk should apologize to the Polish Foreign Minister. We are not a pusher, we are the Polish Republic – pointed out Sejm Marshal Szymon Hołownia.
This is probably the sharpest comment from the Polish side. The minister of digitization reminds that it is a regular trade agreement for the supply of satellite internet by a company belonging to Elon Musk.

– Poland purchased Starlinek sets. She donated them to Ukraine. He pays a subscription – indicates Krzysztof Gawkowski, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digitization.
The Secretary of State joined the discussion. – Nobody threatened to cut Ukraine from Starlinek – he wrote and added: thank you, because without Starlinek Ukraine would have lost the war long ago, and the Russians would be at the border with Poland. In response, Sikorski thanked the fact that Ukrainians could count on the internet service. Later, Elon Musk wrote that he would never turn off his terminals. And this is the end of the topic – we hear in Warsaw.
– The first secretary of state, and the owner of the company confirmed that there is no threat to Starlinks for Ukraine – emphasized the attention of Tomasz Siemoniak, the Minister of the Interior and Administration.
– Radosław Sikorski showed both reflexes and strength – assessed Adam Szłapka, minister for the European Union.
PiS politicians criticize Sikorski
Nothing similar, PiS politicians answer by attacking Sikorski. – You do not talk on Twitter or there on Platform X, as it is now called, as a foreign minister with the Secretary of State of the USA – comments Law and Justice MP Przemysław Czarnek.
Well, on Platform X, a whole crowd of PiS politicians poured a bucket of criticism on Minister Sikorski. “Thank you, Elon Musk” – we read thanks, although it is not written for what. “Harmful stupidity”, “diplomatka”, “starting quarrels” and so on.
PiS candidate for president repeated these messages from the Internet, although at the same time he claimed that it was a bad form of communication. – It is not worth conducting diplomacy on Twitter – said Karol Nawrocki, president of the Institute of National Remembrance.

– The Polish right, since Donald Trump became president, threw herself to her knees and has not stood up so far. Quite the opposite: the planes are getting more and more – said Magdalena Biejat, deputy marshal of the Senate.
The prime minister writes about PiS that by attacking Sikorski, he is losing the remains of national dignity. According to Donald Tusk, the writers are political and moral bankrupt. In turn, “expensive friends” to Americans Donald Tusk wrote in a more conciliatory tone that even weaker and smaller partners deserve respect, not arrogance.
Starlink in Ukraine is still working.
