Font size

There has been a new development in the investigation into the fire that occurred at a Starlink station in Poland in September.

Polish authorities announced that two Turkish citizens were detained in Germany on suspicion of being linked to the incident.

In the fire that broke out at the Starlink station in the central part of the country, the facility's power system and backup generator were damaged.

The Polish administration considered that the incident was a sabotage aimed at disrupting the internet connection of users using Starlink services, including the Ukrainian army.

POLAND ACCUSES RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE

Polish Special Services Minister Tomasz Siemoniak argued at a press conference that Russian intelligence was behind the sabotage.

Siemoniak said, "We have no doubt that Russian intelligence services are behind this act of sabotage," and claimed that Russian intelligence is increasingly turning to people linked to criminal organizations.

Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski stated that the two detained Turkish citizens will face judicial proceedings in Poland on charges of sabotage on the instructions of a foreign intelligence agency.

The Russian Embassy in Warsaw has not yet responded to a request for comment. The Moscow administration, on the other hand, rejects the accusations of sabotage and hybrid attacks previously made by European countries, arguing that these arise from anti-Russian rhetoric.

UKRAINIAN ARMY DEPENDS ON STARLINK SYSTEM

Elon Musk launched the Starlink service in the country at the request of the Kiev administration after Russia's large-scale attack on Ukraine began in February 2022.

The Ukrainian military uses tens of thousands of Starlink terminals for communications activities on the battlefield and some unmanned aerial vehicle operations. The Polish administration had previously announced that it covered Ukraine's Starlink subscription expenses.

Despite differences of opinion between Musk and Ukrainian officials regarding the war, Starlink continues to play an important role in Ukraine's military communications infrastructure.

RUSSIAN FORCES HAVE RESTRICTED ACCESS TO STARLINK

Musk also agreed to disable thousands of Starlink terminals used unregistered by Russian forces in Ukraine this year. It was stated that the decision in question caused problems in the communication activities of Russian troops.

The Ukrainian administration aims to use Starlink terminals in attacks against Russian territory.

Officials from European Union countries have warned that in recent months, Russia has increased sabotage, cyber attacks and other hybrid operations across Europe in an attempt to weaken support for Ukraine.
