According to what I conveyed during the press conference on Friday, the President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, once again submitted for countersignature by the Prime Minister a decision to appoint four members of the Management Board of the National Bank of Poland. "The stability of the Polish economy requires decisions that reject the logic of political warfare. Now everything is in the hands of the Prime Minister," Szefernaker wrote on his profile on X in the morning. #Sikorski #NBP #Polityka (translated)

Ilmārs Poikāns wrote that Russian media and diplomatic circles have reported on Vladimir Putin's offer to hold a trilateral meeting with Donald Trump and Xi Jinping next week or in the coming weeks to discuss Ukraine. According to Poikāns, neither Volodymyr Zelensky nor European leaders would be invited to the negotiating table. Poikāns described this initiative as an attempt to return to the logic of the 1945 great power agreements and to challenge Ukraine's right to determine its own future. He emphasized that such a precedent would be dangerous for Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, as it could reinforce the belief that territorial borders can be changed through military force. Poikāns also warned that Russia could use the pause for the restoration of its army and military industrial base, but later make demands regarding buffer zones or the withdrawal of allied forces from the Baltic states. In his view, the proposal could be adapted to Trump's desire for a quick agreement, while Xi's involvement would attempt to make China a guarantor of Russia's gains. Poikāns pointed out that support for the division of Ukraine could significantly worsen China's relations with the European Union. He also suggested that the leak of this information before the U.S. midterm elections and Trump's expected visit to China could increase distrust among Kyiv, European capitals, and Washington. Poikāns stressed that talks about Ukraine without Ukraine would not be a peace process, but rather imposed capitulation. He urged Europe, especially the Baltic states, Poland, and the Nordic countries, to speed up the strengthening of military capabilities, as he believes that issues of European security should not be decided by great powers without European involvement. #Ukraina #Baltija #Starptautiskāsattiecības (translated)

Interest on interest criticized environmentalist Henrik Jalalian for his statements in Agenda about natural forests being rapidly logged and being completely gone in 25 years, according to a report from the Forest Agency. The writer claimed that the agency itself had rejected the conclusions of the report. According to Interest on interest, the data was still used to justify political proposals that threatened the forestry industry, restricted property rights, and would cost taxpayers billions. The writer also questioned Jalalian's reasoning about forest areas excluded from forestry and objected to natural forests being treated as a clear, scientifically established category. The writer argued that the debate should be based on facts rather than scare figures and political slogans. Interest on interest stated that forest owners maintained, utilized, and renewed the forest, and that problems within the industry were not solved by incorrect information or by casting suspicion on the entire sector. #Skogsbruk #Miljö #Politik (translated)

Braun's team wrote that in both situations the right would demand the resignation of the government: if the man with the knife were stopped at the protest before he hurt anyone, they would talk about an oppressive state, and if he injured someone, they would consider that the state is not working. The post ended with a question directed at those with leftist views, asking what is incomprehensible in this logic. #polityka #protest #spoleczenstwo (translated)

There is no logic in Ukraine attacking its own ships and crews, considering that the outcome of all these attacks favors Russia — and indeed, the logic points to the fact that [it was she who committed the attack on the ship]. The Prime Minister of Bulgaria, Rumen Radev, said before the parliament of his country that "there is no logic in Ukraine attacking its own ships and crews, considering that the outcome of all these attacks favors Russia — and indeed, the logic points to the fact that [it was she who committed the attack on the ship]." #MorzeCzarne #AtakDronów #Ukraina (translated)

David Rangl published a political satire in the style of "Hey people," in which he mocked the reactions to the Senate elections. Its fictional narrator claimed that his party objectively won the elections, even though it did not gain any senators according to the text. He attributed the result to voters, the media, and artists, referencing Patrik Nacher and Klempíř. In a passage about Cheb, Rangl wrote that Sandra Tsoukernik received 27 percent in the first round and almost 29 percent in the second, while Plevný had 71 percent according to the text. The satirical narrator emphasized the alleged growth of support and recalled seven concerts by Michal David. Rangl also parodied the narrator's remarks about Karviná and Orlová, Karel's trip to India, where he was supposed to have 25 meetings, and the meeting with Zelensky in Brussels. He labeled the Senate as unnecessary and wrote that the party would first win it, then abolish it, and possibly re-establish it. In conclusion, he stated that it was political satire and that readers should wait for the real "Hey people." #volby #politika #českárepublika (translated)

"Then it would not be logical not to grant Hungary at least one more year of this exemption. According to Hungarian reasoning, if the United States has made a deal with Russia regarding diesel exports, 'then it would not be logical not to grant Hungary at least one more year of this exemption,' but from Ukraine's perspective, the Russian-American agreement is 'not beneficial.'" #EUcsúcs #Zelenszkij #migráció (translated)

Ivan directed readers to his new blog on the website d3AfZByfIu, where he discussed the intervention law for progress and the question of whether the calculations of the Fiscal Council are correct. He wrote that the opposition to the law, in his opinion, makes no sense. #interventnizakon #FiskalniSvet #politika (translated)

Waldemar criticized Adam Dubyna's call for President Nawrocki to ask Donald Trump for permission to use U.S. troops stationed in Poland to restore constitutional order. He wrote that this is no longer a political demand, but a proposal to transfer decisions regarding Poland's internal affairs to foreign soldiers. Waldemar pointed out that Poland has its own institutions, law, and sovereignty, and he considered the idea of using American troops to be contrary to the constitution, the logic of the NATO alliance, and state responsibility. He emphasized that this is a call for external military intervention, not a criticism of the government or a dispute over the interpretation of regulations. In his opinion, such voices did not restore order but instead destroyed it. #Polska #suwerenność #wojsko (translated)

I believe that the budget aligns with the logic that we have communicated many times: it is a security budget intended for our defense and public safety. Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius states that the government's approved draft of the 2027 state budget aims to balance the growing funding needs for defense and commitments to residents. #Gynyba #Biudžetas #VisuomenėsPoreikiai (translated)

My message to him is: we are allies. – My message to him is: we are allies. We belong to NATO. And what poses the greatest threat to NATO? Russia – and that's why there is no logic in this (Trump's actions – ed.). I have no answers, I have (instead) many questions – said Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo in an interview with Politico during the EU summit that began on Thursday in Brussels. #Trump #Ukraina #Rosja (translated)

"It makes no sense for Ukraine to attack its own ships and crews given that the outcome of all these attacks benefits Russia. Logic indeed points to that conclusion. The problem is that we cannot prove it," said Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev before parliament. #CrnoMore #NapadDronovima #SigurnostPomorskogPrometa (translated)

HWL wrote that TV4 reported from Brussels, where EU leaders met to discuss Ukraine. According to HWL, the reporter criticized the U.S. purchase of Russian diesel and said that Trump was not trustworthy. The reporter described this as "the very worst in the situation," wrote HWL. HWL simultaneously claimed that the EU shut down its own industry while the union bought Russian LNG gas at record levels and imported Russian oil via India. HWL criticized the reporter for not pointing out that Europe, according to the post, was buying the same Russian energy indirectly and accused the reporting of protecting a narrative. HWL asked why the EU could buy Russian oil through intermediaries while the U.S. could not buy Russian diesel. #EU #Journalistik #Ukraina (translated)
