Elon Musk publicly insulted Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski after Sikorski shared an ISW report showing Russia using Starlink satellites to guide drone strikes on Ukraine; Musk defended Starlink as the backbone of Ukrainian military communications, continuing a public back-and-forth over Starlink’s role in the war.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has warned U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson that he would be to blame if Russia advances in Ukraine due to the blocking of new U.S. aid for Ukraine by conservative House Republicans. Sikorski urged Johnson to allow a vote on the $95 billion funding bill containing $60 billion in security aid for Ukraine, emphasizing that the world is watching and that Johnson's decision would have significant consequences. The bill passed the Democratic-controlled Senate in a bipartisan vote, but Johnson, an ally of former President Donald Trump, has not brought it to a vote in the House. Sikorski highlighted the urgency of the situation, stating that Putin's victory in Ukraine would have dire consequences and invite more aggression on the world stage.
