Tusk calls for respect between allies after US-Poland spat over Starlink satellites

Summary

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called for respect among allies after a heated exchange between U.S. and Polish officials over Ukraine’s reliance on Elon Musk’s Starlink.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio rebuked Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski for suggesting Ukraine might need an alternative provider, calling him “ungrateful.”

Musk dismissed concerns and insisted Starlink would not be shut off after threatening to do so.

Meanwhile, speculation about a Starlink replacement caused a surge in Eutelsat’s stock.
