The election of a Trump ally in Poland could alter EU and Ukraine policies Poland has elected Karol Nawrocki, a nationalist conservative, as its next president — a win that signals a turn to the right in one of the European Union's member states.

@apnews.com reports on the results of Poland’s Presidential elections, including a number of my comments on domestic divisions and negative consequences of Nawrocki’s win for the EU and for Ukraine.

Wczoraj w programie red. Morozowskiego rozmawialiśmy między innymi o cynizmie Nawrockiego, gotowego przekreślić program PiS i popierać postulaty Mentzena, w tym zgodny z żądaniem Putina postulat zablokowania ukraińskiego członkostwa w NATO.

Over 130 Ukrainian NGOs say elections can’t be held amid Russia’s War The declaration comes after Donald Trump blasted Kyiv for not holding elections.

Over 130 civil society organizations in Ukraine have issued a joint statement saying it is impossible to hold presidential and parliamentary elections in the country while Russia’s war of aggression continues.

Nawrocki. Człowiek Macierewicza.

Szczególnie początek bardzo trafny. Ale te narzekania, że Wyborcza opublikowała wewnętrzny raport o Nawrockim dziwnie przypominają narzekania symetrystów, o których autor pisze w pierwszej części tekstu.

Pogonowski’s boss, central bank governor Adam Glapiński, who was also a PiS appointee, is separately also in legal jeopardy for allegedly using monetary policy to benefit PiS politically. The parliamentary inquiry is looking into accusations that the PiS government used the Pegasus software developed by Israel’s NSO Group to spy on politicians and other opponents. Former justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro had also ignored the parliament’s summons on health grounds, but after Pogonowski’s arrest on Monday he said he was ready to appear in parliament the next day to denounce an “unlawful attack” by Tusk. The justice ministry said last year that at least 578 people, including some politicians, were spied upon after the PiS government allegedly acquired Pegasus in 2017. Neither the previous government nor NSO Group have confirmed the purchase of the software which was designed to monitor suspects of terrorism and other serious crimes.

The efforts continue to meet headwinds, including refusals to testify.

Although today's arrest appears to be changing some minds.

Uważam, że @donald-tusk.bsky.social

On anxiety about escalation: Oleksandra Matviichuk, Konstantin Staradubets, Alexander Cherkasov, July 2023, in Washington. It's an extraordinary moment when 3 winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, from 3 countries at war with one another, join to plead for weapons to be sent to Ukraine immediately.

Women on the frontline: The extraordinary story of Lt. Yulia Mykytenko A new book sheds light on the incredible life of a female Ukrainian frontline commander.

As Russia continues its aggressive war in Ukraine, efforts to halt Vladimir Putin's war machine rely on the contributions of 60,000 women serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with 10,000 in combat roles.
