- The conversation between President Andrzej Duda and Mike Pompeo was entirely devoted to the situation in Belarus; the politicians discussed possible scenarios - presidential minister Krzysztof Szczerski told 300POLITYCE.

- Poland and the USA support a sovereign and independent Belarus and call for a path towards a political solution to the current situation, following the cessation of violence against society and the release of prisoners - emphasized the head of PAD's cabinet.

- Momentarily, here in the Presidential Palace, an agreement on enhanced defense cooperation between Poland and the USA will be signed, which moves us to another, even stronger stage of defense, military cooperation. I am immensely pleased by both of these circumstances. This is also because they complement two declarations signed by me with U.S. President Donald Trump in June and September of last year. They concerned defense cooperation, and today's agreement signifies their practical implementation. As a result, there will not only be more U.S. Army soldiers in Poland, not only more U.S. infrastructure in our country, but also the guarantee will be strengthened that our soldiers, in case of any danger, whether threatening Poland or the USA, will stand shoulder to shoulder and defend. In short, it means a tangible strengthening of Polish security, and I also believe that it will translate into other aspects of Polish-American cooperation - stated President Andrzej Duda during the ceremonial signing of the Polish-American agreement on enhanced military cooperation.

- I am thinking about this very practical aspect, about economic cooperation, which brings tangible benefits to both our countries and nations. More security means more certainty for investment, more opportunities for economic development. And I am immensely pleased because over the last 5 years, Polish-American cooperation, both in defense and military matters, as well as in economic cooperation, has developed in an unprecedented way. These recent years are not just symbols, the introduction of visa-free travel to the USA for Poles, but primarily a huge strengthening of cooperation, for instance, in the field of energy. But it is also cooperation in many other areas, it is huge investments already realized and announced by American companies in Poland. But what is extremely important, not only do we benefit from this cooperation and strengthened military cooperation and cooperation, for instance, in the field of energy, but we also bring security to our part of Europe. In a military sense, this certainly means more security today for the Baltic states, for all our neighbors. But also in an energy sense, in the future, it will mean more security in our region as well, including for Ukraine. Expressing great joy over this agreement, which will be signed shortly, I wanted to thank immensely everyone who contributed to this agreement being negotiated, to its creation. But I also ask that the Secretary of State convey my thanks to President Trump. My thanks and very warm regards. God bless Poland, God bless the USA - PAD continued to speak.

“Poland believes, and this is the position of the Polish government, that the electoral process in Belarus should be repeated, because the electoral process that took place recently was not a process that guaranteed the realization of a democratic mandate, democratic procedures for Belarusian society. The Polish government believes that the electoral process in Belarus should be repeated, and Belarusians, like citizens of all democratic countries, should have the opportunity to choose their president in a process that is clear and in which international observers will participate to verify the situation” - stated government spokesperson Piotr Müller at a press conference.

"The Prime Minister expressed satisfaction with the United States government's decisions concerning sanctions against companies building the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The Polish government believes that the construction of this pipeline is proof of a lack of European solidarity in the context of energy security," government spokesman Piotr Müller said at a press conference.

"We are open to cooperation [regarding 5G]. We are awaiting details. Poland is ready for such cooperation with American companies, but also with European companies that will cooperate around this topic, as well as other global companies that will ensure adequate information security conditions and infrastructure cooperation in the key area of technology development" - said government spokesperson Piotr Müller at a press conference.

On Monday at 12:00 PM, at a briefing in front of the Sejm, the leader of the Poland 2050 movement, Szymon Hołownia, will initiate a citizen protest concerning the increases in parliamentary salaries and party subsidies. He will also announce the commencement of work by the Poland 2050 movement on a citizen legislative initiative on this matter.

"We appeal to the authorities of Belarus to begin respecting basic human rights and to engage in dialogue with society. I also want to add that Poland consistently supports the sovereignty and independence of our eastern neighbor - Belarus" - said Minister Jacek Czaputowicz at a press conference.
