Ukraine's access to the Starlink satellite internet service may be blocked due to Poland's president, Karol Nawrocki's veto of a draft law on aid for refugees, the Polish deputy prime minister announced on Monday, as the conflict between the government and the head of state deepens.

Poland pays for the Starlink service for Ukraine, enabling the extension of the Internet in this country and in the areas where the Ukrainian military forces, which are fighting the Russian invaders, are positioned.

Polish President Nawrock has vetoed a bill to continue financial aid for Ukrainian refugees and announced plans to restrict their access to health care and child benefits.

However, the Polish Deputy Prime Minister, Krzystof Gawkowski, has said that the legislation also includes the legal basis for providing Starlink in Ukraine.

"This is where the Internet from Starlink ends, which Poland pays for Ukraine, as it faces war," he wrote on X - once Twitter.

A spokesman for Gawkowski said Nawrock's veto means that from October 1 there will be no legal basis to make payments to Starlink.

Nawrock's spokesman told the Reuters news agency that the legal basis for Starlink could be restored if parliament approves a bill proposed by the president by the end of the month.

Poland has been one of Ukraine's biggest supporters since the start of the Russian invasion in 2022.

Both the centrist government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Nawrocki, a conservative nationalist, agree on the need to provide aid to Ukraine to withstand the Russian invasion, although some Poles are ambivalent about whether to provide aid to the 1.5 million Ukrainians now living in Poland.

Nawrock has campaigned this year with the conviction that "Poles should be a priority" and has called for the rights of foreigners in Poland to be restricted.

"I have not changed my mind and aim to fulfill my obligations, and I believe that aid should only be provided to Ukrainians who make efforts to work in Poland, and the same applies to healthcare," he told reporters.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has not reacted to this decision.

Ukrainian refugees in Poland are entitled to receive $219 for a child, if the children go to Polish schools.

Other European Union countries have also recently proposed reducing benefits for Ukrainians.

In Poland, the president can propose bills and use a veto over government legislation.

Similarly, the Government can also block the president's proposals./ REL
