Poland has announced its commitment to continue funding subscriptions for over 20,000 Starlink terminals provided to Ukraine. These terminals have become a critical part of Ukraine's military and civilian communication and internet infrastructure during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.
The announcement was made by Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology – Minister for Digital Transformation, Mikhailo Fedorov, after meeting with Poland's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs, Krzysztof Gawkowski on 6 May.
Fedorov expressed gratitude to Poland for this decision, highlighting the country's consistent partnership in digitalization efforts. The two ministers also signed a memorandum of cooperation between their ministries, paving the way for joint projects in digitalization, IT industry development, artificial intelligence, and e-governance.
Additionally, they discussed Poland's support for a data center for Ukraine's State Tax Service, which has been established in Poland to ensure the safety of vital data.
