What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on Musk’s claim that any limits on Ukraine’s Starlink access are a U.S. matter, but they frame the story differently.

Thom Tillis asking Musk to explain the loss of access, while The Independent uniquely foregrounds Polish criticism of Musk and the political fallout.
