He called for an end to what he described as a display of embarrassment. #kobiety #polityka #strażnicy (translated)

The Galácticos published Cristiano Ronaldo's account regarding the dispute with the Portugal national team coach. The player claimed that after the 2026 World Cup, the federation president asked him not to leave the national team, and he himself supported the choice of the current coach. According to Ronaldo, the coach presented him with a game plan that involved participation in the first and fourth matches of the training camp. The player wrote that he agreed to play 30 minutes in the match against Norway, although he had not planned to play earlier, but after warming up, he did not go onto the field. He also claimed that the coach promised to clarify the situation at a press conference, but did not do so. Ronaldo stated that Simão Coutinho and Tiago Craveiro were also involved in the discussions. The player admitted that after the match he did not approach the fans, and later left the training camp. He apologized to Portuguese fans and his teammates, took responsibility for his decisions, and emphasized that the federation should assess their consequences. He added that after serving any potential punishment, he would be ready to return to the national team, provided he was in good form and was regularly playing for his club. He also announced that in the future he would play one or more farewell matches. #CristianoRonaldo #Reprezentacja #PiłkaNożna (translated)

The author wrote that Russia accuses the Baltic states of supporting neo-Nazism, so far in terms of history, but—as he predicted—soon it may also refer to modern times. He described it as a cynical game by the Kremlin aimed at other countries and stated that similar insinuations often become a pretext for more serious attacks. #Rosja #KrajeBałtyckie #neonazizm #PL #RU #LT #LV #EE (translated)

Jarosław Królewski appealed for an end to frequent changes in the national team coaches and a focus on long-term work. He wrote that after the victories of players and coaches, there is excessive praise, while after defeats, the assessment tends to be too harsh. In his opinion, players should be developed also between training camps, and the staff should make use of data regarding their form, development, workloads, and suitability for specific roles. Królewski assessed that the coach should primarily be a leader and motivator, while tactics, analysis, and preparation should be a collaborative effort of the staff, supported by AI and Big Data. He also regarded the creation of a coherent development plan for the upcoming age groups of the national team, at least from U18 level, as important, along with regular cooperation between coaches, analysts, and those responsible for player development. He wrote that in Poland, long-term planning often gives way to immediate reactions: after victories, monuments are built, while after defeats, blame and successors are sought. He added that accountability for results is necessary, but it should not mean constantly starting over. He also appealed for a reduction in disputes and stated that someone else's defeat is not automatically one's own success. Królewski noted that despite the market, capital, talents, and potential of a country with nearly 40 million people, Polish companies with domestic capital tend to spend more on promotional pens than on long-term support for sports, education, technology, or culture. He added that the sporadic presence of Polish clubs in the Champions League is, in his opinion, a problem for the entire ecosystem, not just the owners, coaches, or players. He mentioned Wisła, Legia, Lech, and Raków, emphasizing that regular competition of Polish clubs at the highest European level should be a shared goal. #PiłkaNożna #Sport #Edukacja (translated)

With the current limitation, we cannot fully participate in NATO's plans regarding nuclear deterrence. Since nuclear deterrence is the "queen" of deterrence, this decision has strategic significance. Olekas emphasized that lifting the ban on the deployment of weapons of mass destruction would increase Lithuania's resilience and deterrence capabilities and remove the legal limitation that distinguishes it from other EU and NATO countries. #Litwa #brońmasowegrażenia #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

Martin Bartkovský stated that after sharing a statement from 40 editors-in-chief, he criticized the journalistic community for failing to unanimously agree on a rejection of violence and equal access to information sharing. He added that he generally expressed his personal opinion about those who repeatedly did not stand up for their colleagues. Subsequently, according to him, he received a number of insults and comparisons to communists. He emphasized that by not signing the statement, in his view, no harm was caused to anyone nor will it be. He stated that he did not plan to fire, kill, or hang anyone and did not prepare lists of inconvenient people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for supporting their colleagues across the field and apologized to them that the discussion had shifted in a different direction due to his contribution. He responded to criticism with several other apologies, including to podcast entrepreneurs, a former colleague, a Czech writer, and a former MEP. Regarding the former colleague, he recalled that for the last 10 years, the status of journalism had been labeled bad, despite the fact that they worked for the same media for six years, which the colleague led. He also mentioned that he apologized for his surname starting with the letter B, which he had for 37 years, and for the reference to Chinese spies. He also apologized to the media Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which he said were not invited to the statement, despite discussions about its wording lasting a month. He offered to connect anyone interested in adding their signature with the organizers, among whom he claimed he did not belong. In a note, he stated that he deleted the original post because he confused two writers and mistook a father for a son in connection with the anti-chart. He apologized for the error, yet called the comparison to the anti-chart inappropriate, stating that parallels with the communist past, in his view, did not help anything. #žurnalistika #svobodaSlova #politika (translated)
