Will Eutelsat replace SpaceX in Ukraine one day ?

The arrangement between Poland and SpaceX for providing Starlink internet access to the Ukrainian military involves Poland's Ministry of Digitization funding the service at an annual cost of approximately $50 million.
In addition, Poland has also supplied about half of Ukraine's Starlink terminals, totaling over 20,000 since 2022, which are essential for maintaining military and civilian communications amidst the war. Polish officials have emphasized that they are responsible for covering subscription fees and ensuring the continuity of this critical infrastructure.

However, in light of recent tensions with Elon Musk, Poland has warned that it may seek alternative providers if SpaceX is deemed unreliable, with potential options including the Paris-based satellite communications company Eutelsat.

Recent evolution of the situation in March 2025
The relationship between Poland and SpaceX has evolved significantly over time, marked by both collaboration and recent tensions.

Early days Collaboration
Poland and SpaceX initially developed a productive partnership, with SpaceX playing a key role in launching Poland's EagleEye satellite in 2024. This mission, conducted from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, was a landmark achievement for Poland's growing space sector. It showcased Poland's increasing technological capabilities in satellite development and its ability to collaborate on complex space missions with international partners like SpaceX

Support for Ukraine
Poland has also been a major financial supporter of SpaceX's Starlink services for Ukraine's army, which support has been critical for maintaining Ukraine's communications infrastructure during its war with Russia.

Tensions and Recent Developments

The relationship has recently become strained due to Elon Musk's warnings about potentially cutting off Starlink access to Ukraine. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski criticized Musk for his remarks, questioning the ethics of threatening a country under attack. In response, Musk dismissed Sikorski's concerns and emphasized Starlink's indispensability to Ukraine's military efforts.

Future Outlook
While Poland and Ukraine continues to rely on SpaceX for critical services, the recent tensions highlight the challenges of depending on private technology providers in geopolitically sensitive situations. Poland’s exploration of alternatives may signal a shift toward diversifying its partnerships in the space and satellite communication sectors.

More than 150,000 Canadians sign petition to revoke Musk’s citizenship

The USA-Canada hockey rivalry, a cornerstone of North American sports culture, has recently intensified due to political tensions. This historic competition, spanning over a century, has seen both nations clash in various international tournaments, with Canada historically dominating but the USA achieving significant victories. The rivalry extends to both men's and women's hockey, consistently drawing global attention.

The recent 2025 4 Nations Face-Off tournament has added a new chapter to this rivalry, with the USA winning the initial match 3-1 and securing a spot in the final. The game was marked by intense physicality, including three fights in the first nine seconds. Canadian fans booed the US national anthem, reflecting current political strains. This heightened tension has spilled over into other areas, as evidenced by a recent Canadian parliamentary petition to revoke Elon Musk's Canadian citizenship. The final match, scheduled for February 20, 2025, in Boston, is expected to draw significant interest amidst this charged atmosphere.

Escape-X : extensions and developments of the HelloQuitX movement

The EscapeX campaign is a European initiative urging individuals, institutions, media, and policymakers to leave X (formerly Twitter) due to concerns about Elon Musk's influence and the platform becoming an opinion manipulation machine. It promotes transitioning to more democratic, decentralized digital spaces like Bluesky and Mastodon.
Key aspects of the campaign:
Goals: Rebuild and reclaim the democratic digital space, advocating for neutral algorithms, effective content moderation, and independence from billionaires' influence.
Organizations Involved: A collaboration of initiatives from France (HelloQuitX), Spain (Vámonos Juntas), and Germany (SciXit), along with support from organizations like Campact.
OpenPortability Platform: Developed by CNRS ISC-PIF, this application allows users to link their X identities to Mastodon and Bluesky, helping them reconnect with their contacts on these alternative platforms. Over 30,000 users in France have used it to recreate 45 million links between accounts.
Call to Action: The campaign encourages information professionals, politicians, and democracy supporters to shift the center of digital debate to more peaceful and democratic platforms using the OpenPortability application.
