Today marks the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising. The main commemorations will begin in the morning. At 10:00 AM, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will lay flowers before the bell of Brigadier General Antoni Chruściel "Montera" and the plaque commemorating President Lech Kaczyński at the Warsaw Uprising Museum, where at 10:10 AM the head of government will give a statement.

At 10:00 AM, the observances will move to Górny Mokotów, where after the ceremonies at the "Fighting Mokotów" monument, the Mokotów March will commence. Warsaw - as every year - will come to a standstill at 5:00 PM, precisely at the hour of "W". At the same time, at the Powązki Military Cemetery, in front of the Gloria Victis Monument, the President, the Prime Minister, and the Mayor of Warsaw, among others, will pay tribute to the insurgents.

At 8:30 PM, Mateusz Morawiecki will participate in the "Forbidden Songs" concert on Piłsudski Square in the capital, and at 9:00 PM, in the presence of President Rafał Trzaskowski, a torch will be lit on the Warsaw Uprising Mound in Czerniaków.
