The head of Poland’s Presidential Office asserted that President Nawrocki’s veto does not deactivate Starlink internet access for Ukraine. He clarified that the funding for this connectivity is maintained under current legal provisions.
Polish President Karol Nawrocki’s veto of legislation aimed at aiding Ukrainians does not halt Starlink services in Ukraine, emphasized Zbigniew Bogucki, chief of the Polish Presidential Chancellery, addressing statements from the nation’s Deputy Prime Minister, according to UNN.
President Nawrocki’s veto does not disrupt Starlink connectivity in Ukraine, as operational costs for this network are covered under existing legal frameworks. The bill proposed by Poland’s president to the Sejm maintains this status quo. Immediate parliamentary review of this initiative in September is essential
– Bogucki declared on platform X.
He further noted that the same principle applies to safeguarding the storage of Ukrainian government data in secure facilities.
“Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski, your role is to counter online manipulation and disinformation, not to propagate it,” Bogucki remarked.
Background
Earlier, Polish President Karol Nawrocki rejected a draft law on assistance for Ukrainian citizens.
Following this, Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski claimed that Nawrocki’s veto would result in disabling Starlink internet in Ukraine and ending support for Ukrainian governmental data security.
