Veto Doesn't Cut Off Starlink; Presidential Bill Maintains Connectivity Funding. Bogucki Responds to Gawkowski

Michał Lubowicki

– Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, you should be fighting manipulation and disinformation online, not creating it – wrote Zbigniew Bogucki on X, responding to Krzysztof Gawkowski's post.

– The President's veto DOES NOT cut off Starlink internet for Ukraine, because the costs of this connectivity are financed based on the provisions of the currently binding law, and the bill submitted to the Sejm by the President of Poland maintains this state of affairs. It is enough to efficiently process this presidential initiative in the Polish parliament in September – stated the head of President Nawrocki's chancellery.

– The situation is analogous when it comes to support for storing Ukrainian administration's data in a secure location – he added.

As Bogucki stated: – You had a long, almost year and a half, to present a law that would be fair primarily from the perspective of Poles, but also for those Ukrainians who honestly participate in the Polish socio-economic system. You failed to do this, as with many other things, despite making promises. That is why the President of Poland is now stepping in for you.

– To paraphrase your post, it's appropriate to say: I cannot imagine a better gift for Putin than playing into Russian disinformation, with the aim of dividing Poles and Ukrainians. Mr. Deputy Prime Minister – you must stop blindly striking at the President of Poland in the name of political struggle. You are scaring people who are fighting for their independence and simultaneously helping Russia. If not for your post, the machinery of Russian mendacious propaganda and disinformation in this regard would not have started – he concluded.
