REVEALED: How Ukraine's army 'would collapse' without Elon Musk's $10bn satellite empire... and why Poland is now TERRIFIED he's going to cut them off

Daily Mail  

It may seem hard to credit now but, back in October 2022, Ukrainian forces were steadily liberating territory from the Russian invaders. The minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, intervened on X after Musk boasted that his satellite system was the ‘backbone of the Ukrainian army’ and warned Ukraine’s ‘entire frontline’ would collapse if he ‘turned off’ Starlink. Reuters reported last month that US negotiators pressing Ukraine for American access to its critical minerals had ‘raised the possibility’ of cutting the country’s access to Starlink However, Musk has pledged that, no matter how much he disagrees with Ukraine’s leaders, ‘Starlink will never turn off its terminals’ At which point US Secretary of State Marco Rubio chimed in, accusing Sikorski of ‘just making things up. Reuters reported last month that US negotiators pressing Ukraine for American access to its critical minerals had ‘raised the possibility’ of cutting the country’s access to Starlink.
