On October 24, according to The Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk's sudden restriction on Ukraine's use of his 'Starlink' communication network has prompted US allies to accelerate their search for alternatives. Starlink is crucial for Ukraine's defense against Russian attacks, and Europe has expressed concerns because the system has a built-in 'master switch,' giving Musk the authority to shut down this critical network without consultation. After Ukraine reported issues with 'Starlink,' Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski took to social media to tell Musk that involving products in politics could damage the brand, noting that the Polish government had also funded Ukraine's use of the system. Amid the urgent situation, Ukraine and Finland announced on Thursday that, as part of a €300 million aid package, Kyiv would join a satellite communication network jointly operated by Finnish satellite operator Iceye and network company Nokia. Canadian satellite communications company Telesat has also proposed its 'Lightspeed' low-Earth orbit satellite network solution, emphasizing its ability to provide greater sovereign independence. The EU has signed contracts with Eutelsat and two other companies to jointly build the 'sovereign satellite network' IRIS², consisting of 348 satellites. The project, costing approximately $17.5 billion, plans to launch its first satellites in 2029.
