In 2024, the costs of Poland for the terminal service and the purchase of new ones would cost more than 1.2 billion UAH.
Poland will increase the number of Starlink terminals that operate in Ukraine to ensure stable front communication. This was reported by Puls Biznesu with a reference to the minister of Krzysztof Gavkovsky’s digitalization minister.
According to him, the Poland government plans to significantly increase the number of Starlink – the additional 5,000 devices have already been ordered.
“Poland for many and many months provides the Internet to the Ukrainian community and Ukrainian army. Thanks to Starlink, the tasks that allow the front to handle,” Gavkovsky said.
By the end of 2024, Poland gave Ukraine with 24,400 Starlink terminals, made by the American Company Spacex Ilona Mask. In November, a new party was ordered, which is now gradually entering Ukraine.
De Jure Poland does not provide these terminals to Ukraine, but provides a loan, though, most likely, they will never return. This form is selected to avoid excessive complications, including tax.
Not all terminals are active on an ongoing basis, their number changes over time -they have been up and disconnected by the Ukrainian side decision. In addition, approximately 300 terminals were destroyed during the fight.
In 2024, the costs of Poland for the terminal service and the purchase of new ones would cost more than 120 million zlotys (more than 1.2 billion UAH). The expected cost of service in 2025 was 186 million zlotys (nearly 2 billion UAH).
Remember that the earlier Reuters, citing their own resources, reported that American workers, putting pressure on Kyiv to get access to Ukraine’s minerals, raising the question of the possibility of stopping Access to the armed forces of Ukraine on the satellite Internet System Starlink.
Later, Musk denied media statements about Starlink’s possible shutdown in case Ukraine did not sign a mineral supply agreement.
