Paweł Żuchowski wrote that two weeks before the congressional elections in the USA, the moods were clearly changing, and support for President Donald Trump and the Republicans was declining. He pointed out that Trump had both ardent supporters and determined opponents, and unfavorable polls did not always predict his defeat. He recalled that in 2016, polls indicated he would lose to Hillary Clinton, yet he won the presidential election again in 2024. He added that the situation before the congressional elections should particularly alarm the Republicans. He tagged RMF24.pl and Radio RMF24. #wybory #Trump #Polityka (translated)
Paweł Żuchowski wrote that Donald Trump increasingly harshly criticized Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky in a series of statements. He quoted his words that the United States gave a lot to Ukraine, but received nothing in return, and that someone else should conduct negotiations on behalf of Ukraine. Trump was also said to claim that Zelensky could have ended the war earlier and negotiated a better agreement, and that the Russians were doing well and did not take many actions. Żuchowski assessed that Trump was increasingly blaming Ukraine for the lack of a peace agreement, criticizing its president, while speaking about Russia's actions in a rather uncritical manner. He added that the American administration was taking steps to ease sanctions against Russia, which in his opinion resulted in Washington's pressure increasingly focusing on Ukraine rather than on the state that started the war. He believed that such a direction of Trump's rhetoric was concerning from both Kyiv's perspective and that of the entire region. #Ukraina #Trump #wojna (translated)
Paweł Żuchowski wrote that two weeks before the midterm elections to Congress, support for Donald Trump was at 33 percent, which he described as a record low. He referred to a poll conducted for the Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos, according to which the Democrats had an eight-point lead over the Republicans. He added that the Washington Post noted a drop in Trump's ratings by 4 percentage points since July and by 8 points compared to the previous year. According to the data he cited, 52 percent of respondents strongly disapproved of Trump's presidency. #Trump #wybory #USA (translated)

Paweł Żuchowski wrote that Donald Trump has embarked on a tour across the United States to help Republicans avoid defeat in the November elections. According to the author, some candidates from this party do not want the president's support, and some are trying to distance themselves from him. Żuchowski considered this a sign of the difficult situation facing the Republicans three weeks before the Congressional elections. He added that Trump downplayed another important signal and accused journalists of spreading lies. The post tagged the accounts of Radio RMF24 and RMF24. #Trump #Republikanie #Wybory2023 (translated)
Paweł Żuchowski wrote that he reminded Donald Trump that the ceasefire he announced in Ukraine is not working, and Vladimir Putin is clearly not listening to him. According to Żuchowski, Trump replied: "They will listen." The conversation was reported by RMF24. https://t.co/QOo2Mjs7BV #Ukraina #DonaldTrump #Putin (translated)
Paweł Żuchowski wrote that Donald Trump was asked on the way to the Marine One helicopter about his announced "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine. According to Żuchowski, both sides were surprised by this, and Trump stated that they agreed because he told them to. The author considered this statement to undermine claims of an agreement being reached. #Trump #Ukraina #Rosja (translated)
Paweł Żuchowski wrote that Donald Trump promised adult Americans $5,000 if the Republicans win the elections, and announced an unprecedented economic success. He added that there are three weeks left until the elections in the USA, and polls indicated that the Republicans might lose their majority in the Capitol. According to Żuchowski, experts assessed that Trump’s promise is currently impossible to fulfill and would constitute a huge burden on the budget; others considered it as buying votes with public money. #Trump #Wybory2024 #Republikanie (translated)
Paweł Żuchowski wrote, citing an analysis by Reuters, that the Republicans may have lost control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. He indicated that the party had to defend its seats even in traditionally favorable states, such as Iowa and Kansas. According to Żuchowski, rising living costs, fuel prices, and dissatisfaction with Donald Trump's policies were becoming an increasingly significant problem for the Republicans. He added that three weeks before the elections, the battle was being fought for both chambers of Congress. Losing both, he wrote, would seriously limit Trump's ability to implement his agenda for the next two years. #Polityka #Wybory2023 #Republikanie (translated)
Paweł Żuchowski wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky was surprised by Donald Trump's announcement of an "energetic ceasefire" under which Russia and Ukraine would halt attacks on energy infrastructure. He added that, according to his reports, the authorities in Kyiv were not aware of the agreement when Trump informed that both sides had agreed to it. Żuchowski also quoted a statement from Zelensky conveyed on platform X by Axios reporter Barak Ravid. The Ukrainian president reportedly said that the announcement of the truce was new to him, but Ukraine would agree to it if it was accepted by Russia. He also asked Trump to indicate when the truce would begin if it was agreed upon with Vladimir Putin. #Ukraina #Trump #rosyjskaagresja (translated)

Paweł Żuchowski wrote that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuels in connection with the oil agreement between Washington and Moscow has faced criticism from Democrats and some Republicans. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer accused Trump of making a "deal with the devil" to save his declining political ratings. Republican Congressman Don Bacon expressed hope that Ukraine would continue to destroy Russian diesel production capabilities. He also called on Trump to use the Lindsey Graham Act, which aimed to strengthen sanctions on Russia. Bacon accused the president of providing the dictator with money instead of using sanctions to weaken the Russian war machine while it continues to attack and kill Ukrainian civilians. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski also urged the use of the Graham Act. She stated that discussions about Russia's return to global energy markets should only take place after the war ends, and until then, sources of its funding and supplies should be cut off. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that he would put a bipartisan bill blocking all purchases of Russian oil to a vote in the House of Representatives. He predicted that it would be passed by an overwhelming majority. Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence wrote on X on Saturday that lifting sanctions in the face of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets was incomprehensible and constituted a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. He added that the U.S. should not support the Russian war machine. Pence also stated that Vladimir Putin wants to take over Ukraine, and its conquest could lead to Russian forces crossing another border and clashing with American soldiers. He called on Trump to reverse the decision. #Trump #Rosja #Ukraina (translated)
Paweł Żuchowski wrote that the relations between the USA and Ukraine have clearly deteriorated. According to him, after the President of Ukraine expressed dissatisfaction with Donald Trump's agreement with Vladimir Putin regarding oil, Trump stated that Ukraine should have a new president. Żuchowski added that Trump reiterated that the war with Russia should not have started. #Ukraina #USA #Trump (translated)
Paweł Żuchowski wrote that Donald Trump sought an agreement with Vladimir Putin regarding the sale of Russian fuel and the easing of sanctions, in order to show that he was lowering high fuel prices in the USA before the Congressional elections. He pointed out that the president's ratings were falling, and Russian supplies might not significantly impact prices. Żuchowski assessed that such an agreement could bring additional revenue to the Kremlin, while Poland and other countries on NATO's eastern flank spent billions on defense, and Ukraine was fighting against Russian aggression. He wrote that US allies might fear that Trump would subordinate their security to his own political calculations, just as he allegedly did regarding Russian fuel. #Trump #Putin #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

Paweł Żuchowski wrote that Donald Trump thanked Russia during a campaign rally for allowing the USA to send "millions, millions" of barrels of diesel oil, which — he said — the country needed. https://t.co/z1FMP4xUY7 #Trump #Rosja #wybory (translated)
Paweł Żuchowski wrote that Donald Trump expressed satisfaction with the agreement with Vladimir Putin and thanked him for the promise of large supplies of Russian diesel fuel. Trump was said to have stated that fuel is needed by the United States and the world. According to Żuchowski, when asked about the criticism from the Ukrainian president, who suggested that the agreement indicates weakness, Trump responded "okay." He later emphasized that the U.S. is a strong partner of Ukraine and that the world needs oil. Żuchowski reported that Trump announced the supply of 300,000 tons of diesel "immediately," 500,000 in November, and 4 million in the following months. He added that as a result of the agreement, U.S. sanctions on Russian diesel would be suspended until April 2027. #Trump #Putin #energia (translated)
