Thorkill linked Donald Trump's story about a Russian general who exited the highway and got stuck in the mud to the march of the 1st Armored Army towards Pryluky in February 2022. He wrote that Trump first told this story in June 2022 and repeated it the day before the publication of the post, adding details that allowed the author to pinpoint a specific operation. According to Thorkill, on February 25, General Sergey Kisiel ordered the vanguard group of the 1st Motorized Rifle Regiment to leave road number 7 Sumy–Kyiv and bypass Pryluky from the north using local routes. The author stated that the troops reached Kołesznyki, covering approximately 70 km that day, and on February 26, they traveled about 30 km and reached Halych. He blamed the delay on the poor condition of the roads, which were damaged by heavy vehicles. Thorkill assessed that the Russian attack on Pryluky could have succeeded because the Ukrainian defense of the city was still being organized and had little anti-tank weapons and mines, and also lacked artillery or engineers capable of blowing up the bridge on the Uday River. According to the author, Kisiel ordered the attack on the city along road number 7 only on February 27. The Ukrainian positions along the Uday then halted the Russian advance, and the column to the north of Sribne was bombed by Ukrainian Su-24s. The author noted that the potential capture of Pryluky could have facilitated actions for the Russian forces, but would not have directly led to the fall of Kyiv. He wrote that the "Center" Group of Forces was to block the city from the east, while the main strike was led by the "East" Group of Forces from the west. Thorkill stated that the failure of the latter determined the defeat of the Russian operation in Kyiv. He also announced the upcoming publication of a book in English about the battle for Kyiv. #Ukraina #wojna #Kijów (translated)

Joanna criticized what she assessed as the double standards of some media outlets and their approach that politicians from the PiS party are allowed to do more. She wrote that earlier cases involving judges — the theft of parts for a screwdriver worth 8 PLN and a USB flash drive — were widely publicized, even though one of the judges was no longer actively serving. She compared this to incidents she described as involving prosecutors and judges linked to Zbigniew Ziobro or Karol Nawrocki: a drunken prosecutor allegedly broke into someone else's house to spy on a man bathing, a Supreme Court judge supposedly lost his teeth on a platform, and judge Iwaniec crashed his car into a tree. Among other examples, she mentioned Krystyna Pawłowicz's posts on Twitter, which — in her opinion — raised justified concerns about her mental health, a night incident involving Zaradkiewicz going mushroom picking while wearing slippers and pajamas, and a naked prosecutor who, according to her, was trying to storm a liquor store. She asked where the media were in these cases and suggested that they remained in the pockets of politicians. She warned that such an approach could have serious consequences for society. #Polska #media #sąd (translated)

Kacper Kita wrote that Leszek Miller has become a hero to some on the right at a time when the surge of immigrants at the border with Belarus began. He reminded that Miller was a member of the PZPR, was associated with the Moscow loan and the Rywin affair, and also supported the introduction of the euro, same-sex marriage, and sex education. Kita also accused him of supporting the beating of participants in the Independence March and criticizing Donald Tusk for being too lenient. He added that Miller was prime minister during the highest unemployment in history and numerous corruption scandals, yet some on the right appreciate him because he criticizes Ukrainians on the internet. #Polska #Polityka #Imigracja (translated)

Mateusz Morawiecki wrote that Rozwój Plus supports President Karol Nawrocki and his competencies and proposes a constitutional reset of the Constitutional Tribunal. He believed that the judges of the Tribunal should take their oath before the president, not the Sejm. He presented a proposal for new rules for the election of judges by a majority of 3/5 votes and respect for the powers of the president. Morawiecki accused Donald Tusk of sparking a conflict around the Tribunal to divert attention from the failures of three years of government. He listed rising unemployment, longer waiting times for doctors, bankruptcies of Polish companies, and chaos. He added that the attempt to take over the Tribunal would fail. #Polska #Konstytucja #TrybunałKonstytucyjny (translated)

The author wondered whether there would be a police assault on the Constitutional Tribunal. He wrote that he had spoken with sources in the police who — as he reported — were not eager to participate in what he considered an unlawful action. He claimed that the officers were taking into account that there was a year left until the elections and that after a change of power, they would be held accountable severely. He added that his sources indicated a lack of enthusiasm for making decisions. #Polska #wybory #policja #PL (translated)

Max Hübner wrote that according to the Republic, Marcin Kierwiński was bringing additional police units from across the country for Donald Tusk, Żurek, and Berek. He claimed that the Warsaw garrison refused to storm the Constitutional Tribunal, which is why larger forces were needed in case of further refusals. He anticipated that the attempt to storm might happen at night. #Polska #Polityka #Bezpieczeństwo (translated)

Max Hübner assessed that Donald Tusk's recording regarding the restoration of the rule of law was a sign of failure. He noted that the Prime Minister published it in the afternoon, not in the morning as usual, which—according to Hübner—indicated that he had previously expected success. Hübner wrote that taking over the Constitutional Tribunal was supposed to be easy and involve the swearing-in of Berek and entering the CT with the assistance of the SOP and the Police. He claimed that this did not happen thanks to the defenders of the Tribunal and the firm stance of Bogdan Święczkowski. According to him, the recording was meant to calm disappointed government supporters who had been waiting for an announcement of success since the morning, and who later criticized the lack of results from his actions. Hübner added that the refusal of the Warsaw Police garrison to execute the order to storm the CT also hit the rulers hard. He wrote that Tusk was furious and could have been ready to remove the protesters and Święczkowski, or even destroy the Tribunal building to achieve his goal. He believed that the Prime Minister had to take action, as otherwise, he faced a political failure a year before the elections. #Polska #Praworządność #Tusk (translated)

Max Hübner wrote that the attempted coup in the Constitutional Tribunal, which he attributed to Donald Tusk, did not go as he had planned. He stated that the organizers of the defense of the Constitutional Tribunal informed after Jarosław Kaczyński's speech that the Warsaw police garrison had refused to carry out the order to storm the Tribunal. Hübner considered this a sign that there are limits to the betrayal of the Republic. https://t.co/DttgrspQZW #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #Polska #Tusk (translated)

Enough mockery of the state. The oath of a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal is taken before the President of the Republic of Poland - not before parliamentary furniture. This is not a matter of decoration or a political gesture, but a fundamental constitutional rule. Maciej Berek, by consenting to this farce, does not restore the dignity of the Tribunal. On the contrary: he adds another layer of chaos to an institution already deeply embroiled in political dispute. It is impossible to escape this entanglement with further circumventions of the law and symbolic procedures. A constitutional reset of the Constitutional Tribunal is needed: a new beginning, clear rules, and an institution capable of regaining authority. This is exactly what Rozwój Plus proposes. We must cut this Gordian knot - instead of pretending that the problem will simply disappear. Rozwój Plus will firmly stand guard over the observance of the Constitution and the legal order of the Republic. The assault on the Constitutional Tribunal will not succeed!" - announces the MP of Rozwój Plus, Mateusz Morawiecki. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #MaciejBerek #Prawo (translated)

The author of the entry described the actions of the police at the Constitutional Tribunal gate as a forcible storm and stated that 100 policemen participated, sent by Marcin Kierwiński and Donald Tusk. He claimed that Poles were being pulled and pressed against the bars to allow Włodzimierz Czarzasty to pass, whom he called an usurper. He added that members of the Law and Justice party were present, defending the Tribunal. https://t.co/KzJCmZY6zk #Polska #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #Policja #PL (translated)
