Schetyna:
Europe Cannot Replace American Aid for Ukraine
– Europe is giving him [Volodymyr Zelensky] support. After all, this has been going on for 3 years, concerning military support, military equipment, soldier training, but also financial support. However, this is, of course, insufficient – said Grzegorz Schetyna in “Sygnały dnia” (Signals of the Day) on PR1.
– With the necessary support that the Americans are providing, Europe is in no way able to replace this American aid. Therefore, objectively, Zelensky's situation is becoming increasingly difficult – he stated.
07:50
Schetyna:
Putin is not an enemy for Trump, but a difficult partner
– [Donald Trump is interested in] taking political control, showing that Americans, the United States, are a superpower capable of dictating terms to everyone, to the entire world, to put it plainly. To decide on peace, to intimidate partners who do not wish to submit to their will. The Ukrainian issue is a great example here, also for those other countries that are already being pointed out as the next partners for political deals for Trump – said Grzegorz Schetyna in "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on PR1.
He assessed: – Putin is not an enemy for him, for Trump. He is, I think, a difficult partner. After all, during that 4.5-hour conversation in Riyadh, that first American and Russian delegation, it was not apparent that these were delegations from countries fighting each other, in conflict, looking at the future differently. No, rather Trump wants to make Putin a partner in international politics.
08:06
Schetyna on the European Council Summit:
Her Findings Will Implement the Polish Perspective.
– Our voice must be heard in Europe, and we must be the link between the European community and the United States. If President Duda does this until the end of his term – that’s good. The Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs are doing it – said Grzegorz Schetyna in “Sygnały dnia” on PR1.
– But the European voice is important. The European community should speak with a Polish voice. Today, we have the opportunity to influence European policy. All these matters we will discuss on Thursday, we will hear at the European Council meeting, also stem from the perspective on politics of countries that are on the border, understand the Russian threat, and indeed spend more on defense and place more emphasis there – he continued.
As he emphasized: – I am convinced that Thursday, these European Council findings, will precisely implement this Polish perspective on security and defense policy.
08:23
Schetyna on PiS’s Stance Towards Trump and Ukraine:
They’re doing it in a thoughtless, harmful way.
– They’re doing it [PiS] in a thoughtless, harmful way. Because just as they shouted “Donald Trump” in the Sejm and wore red caps, now they are attacking President Zelensky and saying that someone is organizing an anti-American rebellion. This is such a swing from one extreme to another – Grzegorz Schetyna said in “Sygnały dnia” on PR1.
– They were never specialists or experts in international politics, and today they are simply floundering, wanting to do everything so that their behavior and such unthinking support during Donald Trump’s campaign and immediately after the elections do not harm their candidate – he continued.
08:31
– Poland only presides over the Council of the European Union once every decade. We happen to have that privilege now. Other EU member states use it to push their national agendas, promote their own countries, but most importantly, to organize summits of global diplomacy. Everyone does it, except for Tusk – said Karol Nawrocki in a recording published by his campaign staff.
– More than 60 days of Poland's presidency have passed, and Tusk and Trzaskowski are still sleeping. Thanks to the actions taken by the PiS government and President Andrzej Duda, Poland currently enjoys the best reputation in the United States among European countries. It's time to capitalize on this and start acting – he stated.
– I call on Donald Tusk to, by leveraging the privilege of the presidency, immediately convene an EU-USA summit in Poland. We must take care of our security through actions, not internet posts – declared the candidate supported by PiS.

Horała:
It is not in our interest to conflict with the USA; they are the guarantor of our security
– Donald Trump acts in the American interest, and it so happens that in many areas, this is an interest that aligns with Poland's interest. Even if some of these actions may not be pleasing, it is certainly not in our interest to conflict with the United States over them, because at the end of the day, it is the United States that is the fundamental guarantor of our security – stated Marcin Horała on the program 'Rozmowa Piaseckiego' on TVN24.
08:38
Horała:
Zelensky Made a Mistake, Misjudged Trump's Intentions
– In my opinion, Zelensky simply made a mistake, meaning he misjudged Donald Trump's intentions. Donald Trump wanted to build a justification for his voters as to why he might continue to support Ukraine, because he wants to sit down at the negotiating table with Putin without being in a position of compulsion – stated Marcin Horała in the "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.
– Zelensky absolutely did not read this, and in fact, he was the aggressive party at the beginning, he tugged and tugged, nipped away, until the other side decided: we have to strike back here, because we'll look bad in front of our voters – he added.
08:38
Horała on Ensuring Security for Poland and Poles:
We've Had Enough Moral Victories in Poland.
– It is a great obligation of Polish politicians to ensure that in 50 years Poland has security and wealth, that Poles do not perish, even with a slightly lesser moral justification than the other way around. We've truly had enough moral victories in Polish history, now it's time for normal victories – stated Marcin Horała in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
08:39
Horała on the White House Meeting:
The Scythe Met the Stone, Zelensky Flew Away Long Ago.
– Regarding Zelensky, well, one must admit that deep down, humanly speaking, each of us thinks that President Zelensky flew away a long time ago. He repeatedly insulted Poland, which helped him so much, at the summit in Vilnius. He said we somehow cooperate with Putin, if I remember correctly, at the UN. Here, it's a bit like the scythe met the stone; humanly speaking, I think many felt satisfaction, setting aside the grand state matters, it's a small emotional detail – stated Marcin Horała in “Piasecki's Conversation” on TVN24.
09:06
Duda's Advice for Zelensky:
It's Necessary to Return to the Negotiating Table.
– I think I can boldly say that his goal, above all, is absolutely one, because he repeated it to me several times during our meeting – he would like to end the war in Ukraine, this hecatomb, meaning so many people are dying – stated President Andrzej Duda on TVN24.
– I am trying to speak very calmly, if I could offer Volodymyr Zelensky any advice, it would be to calmly return to the negotiating table and try to seek an agreement. When I spoke with him on the phone less than 10 days ago and we discussed the proposals being presented to him by the US President, his representatives, I said: Volodymyr, you know President Trump, because you had the opportunity to meet him before, and you know that he spent most of his life in business and has a business approach, he operates in a business-like manner – PAD continued.
– I told him: you also came to politics from business, so simply talk to him as you would talk business and try to establish conditions with him so that both sides win – he added.
09:07
Duda:
I Believe This is an Element of a Very Sharp Tactic Aimed at Negotiations
– This is indeed a very sharp game. I wouldn't say I feel any dread, because I wouldn't use that word. I believe this is an element of a very sharp tactic aimed at these negotiations – stated President Andrzej Duda on TVN24.
09:16
Duda:
The media's smearing of President Trump is a never-ending story
– The media's smearing of President Donald Trump is a never-ending story, which has been going on practically from the moment he ran for his first term. And because he was the first politician to begin military aid for Ukraine, at a time when he was being smeared for supporting Russia, he was the first politician to impose real, effective sanctions and actually stop Nord Stream 2, even though he was being smeared at the time for cooperating with Moscow, for yielding to the Kremlin, etc. Take it easy, calmly – stated President Andrzej Duda on TVN24.
09:20
Duda:
I am one of four heads of state who recently met with Trump
– I am one of four heads of state who recently met with President Trump, and my meeting was the first, as only after me did the President of France, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and President Zelensky meet – stated President Andrzej Duda on TVN24.
09:22
Duda on ambassadorial nominations:
Klich is not a suitable candidate.
– I believe Senator Klich is not a suitable candidate for this post [in the USA], especially at this moment, particularly also considering what he has recently said about President Trump. In my opinion, he is not the right candidate – stated President Andrzej Duda on TVN24.
09:35
Duda:
Those Who Visit Me Know That I Generally Work by Walking Around a Lot
– I must disappoint everyone. I generally have a way of working where I walk around my office a lot, and those who visit me know that this is generally how I work, that I simply walk a lot – stated President Andrzej Duda on TVN24.
09:35
Duda:
Sometimes You Have to Wait for the Leader of a Great Power
– In 2016, all NATO leaders waited with me in the Presidential Palace for President Obama because he was late for a working dinner during the NATO summit in Warsaw. At the time, I was a relatively new president in that environment, and I was very nervous that we had all been waiting for almost half an hour, and President Obama wasn't there. The information I was receiving was that he was in his apartment talking on the phone. Seeing my evident nervousness and embarrassment, Chancellor Merkel approached me, smiled, and said: Mr. President, you are relatively new among us here; relax, nothing is happening, we're having a very pleasant evening, we'll wait calmly. He is the President of the USA, he will arrive soon – stated President Andrzej Duda on TVN24.
– It's simply that from time to time, you have to wait for the leader of a great power. That's just how it is, and everyone in international politics approaches it calmly – he continued.
09:47
Hołownia on the Second Step Regarding Health Contributions:
All Signs Point to It.
– I hope that at the next Sejm session, we will also conduct the second reading and vote on the act reducing health contributions for small entrepreneurs for 2026. This is the second step that was supposed to be taken. I had a conversation with Chairwoman Skowrońska on this matter, and all signs point to it being at the next Sejm session – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.
09:56
Hołownia on Mentzen:
Burning to Make His First Visit to the Kremlin.
– I think his nerves are fraying [Sławomir Mentzen's], I understand it's difficult for him, that he's so eager to make his first visit to the Kremlin, to do all those things he dreams of, to finally come to an agreement with Putin, preferably with Germany over our Polish heads, but alas, a whimpering chihuahua was, and a motion to the ethics committee will be – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.
10:15
Hołownia:
Anyone Nuancing the Ukraine Issue Today Speaks Putin's Language
– It is in our interest that Ukraine wins this war, and that Russia does not win it, because if someone claims that it is in their interest for Ukraine to win, perhaps a little, perhaps not, there is no such thing – you either win a war or you lose it. There is no other option, so if Russia is to lose, Ukraine is to win – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.
– If someone claims today that nuance regarding Ukraine is in Poland's national interest, then they are speaking Putin's language. They will be a hero of Kremlin news reports in the first or second segment, something that serves Russia, not Poland. And what some right-wing politicians in Poland are doing today, I call it poverty-stricken Trumpism – he continued.
10:21
Kaczyński on Czarnek's Words:
My Colleague Got a Bit Carried Away.
– I do not [share Przemysław Czarnek's opinion on Volodymyr Zelenskyy]. Such words should not be used, and I believe my colleague got a bit carried away here, but well, such things happen. If only such things happened in politics – Jarosław Kaczyński stated in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.
10:26
Mentzen Appeals to the Government:
So You Finally Think About Our Security.
– So far, we have not replenished these reserves, we have not built factories for weapons and ammunition, we have not built an industrial base. Our Act on the Production of Weapons and Ammunition means that even SSPs need several years for potential production startup, because they have to struggle with formalities for several years – stated Sławomir Mentzen in the Sejm.
– I appeal to this government, which has led to the situation where we now have ammunition for a few days of war, for just a few days of war, to finally get to work and finally think about our security, because it is absolutely unbelievable that it has not occurred to you that we need weapons and ammunition for defense – he continued.
10:37
Tusk:
Let the Memory of the Lie and the Katyń Crime Serve as a Warning to the World
– On March 5, 1940, the decision to murder over 22,000 Polish prisoners of war was made in Moscow. Let the memory of the lie and the Katyń crime serve as a warning to the world. Let us always call things by their proper names: a crime is a crime, a victim – a victim, an aggressor – an aggressor – wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on social media.
5 marca 1940 roku w Moskwie zapadła decyzja o wymordowaniu ponad 22 tysięcy polskich jeńców wojennych. Pamięć o kłamstwie i zbrodni katyńskiej niech będzie przestrogą dla świata. Nazywajmy zawsze rzeczy po imieniu: zbrodnia jest zbrodnią, ofiara – ofiarą, agresor – agresorem.

Kosiniak-Kamysz:
There is no alternative to good Polish-American relations; we are pursuing this goal together with the President
– There is no alternative to good European-Transatlantic relations, and this is also a guarantee of Polish security. Polish-American, European-American relations are necessary for the security of Europe and the world; they are historically very important for us – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in the Sejm.
– We are pursuing this, and frankly, we are pursuing it together with the President of the Republic, because there is an above-party consensus here. When the Secretary of Defense visited Poland, we consulted with the National Security Bureau and cooperate in this regard with Mr. President. When Mr. President is in the United States, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Radosław Sikorski, is also present, and this is cooperation – he continued.
12:50
Morawiecki attacks Tusk:
Soon there will be a void left by American soldiers in Poland.
– First, he calls the US President a Russian agent. The next day, he says he is his friend. The day after that, that Europe can manage without the USA. He talks about some “giant” waking up. In the evening of the same day, that it actually won’t manage – says the narrator in a spot published by Mateusz Morawiecki.
– What will he say today? He himself doesn’t know. But the worst thing is that he not only doesn’t know what he’s saying – he doesn’t know what to do. Others are acting, organizing summits, arranging everything among themselves. And Tusk sits and waits for what they will arrange and convey to him. And all this during Poland’s presidency of the EU Council – the narrator continues in the video.
– Due to this lack of activity, it may soon be all over, and a void will be left by American soldiers in Poland. Mr. Tusk, get to work! – he concluded.

Tusk Attacks Duda Over Interview Remarks. What Did PAD Actually Say? [300POLITYKA FACT CHECK]:
One Step Too Far.
– The suggestion publicly made by President Duda that we might give our Polish copper to the Americans in exchange for their support, that is truly one step too far – Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on social media.
In reality, it was a TVN journalist who asked President Duda about this matter, and Andrzej Duda responded, among other things, that he hoped such a situation would not arise. Below is the exact fragment of the conversation.
Marcin Wrona: In the era of Donald Trump, can we count on America? Will there not come a day when Donald Trump says: you want American troops in Poland, give me your copper?
Andrzej Duda: If President Trump finds himself in a situation where, I don't know, he spends hundreds of billions of dollars to support Poland, then it's hard for me to say what his expectations of us would be. However, as of now, we are not in such a situation.
Marcin Wrona: Aren't you afraid of such a situation?
Andrzej Duda: I mean, I hope such a situation will not occur, because as it stands, he calls us a very responsible ally. He says that it is rather he who has obligations towards Poland, because after all, he himself recently said that he feels obliged to Poland, and I am glad he says such things, because we are a very responsible ally who actually fulfills its commitments, and in fact – as he also emphasizes himself – significantly beyond its commitments within the alliance.

Nawrocki on Tusk’s First Government:
This is the group responsible for all of Eastern Poland falling prey to barbarians.
– Political elites in Poland, neither Donald Tusk nor European elites, listened to the words of the late President Lech Kaczyński, and what the President had predicted began to happen in Europe. In 2014, the first attack on Ukraine by the Russian Federation, February 2022, the beginning of the full-scale war, and the situation we are in today – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.
– When it became clear that we were dealing with a cruel and terrifying enemy, before 2015, Donald Tusk’s first government, meaning during the first Tusk era, the Polish army was being disarmed. 600 military units were liquidated, and for the first time, the number of the Polish Army was less than the number of the Polish police. This government also adopted a defense security strategy for Poland along the Vistula River. This is the group responsible for all of Eastern Poland potentially becoming prey to barbarians and cruel aggressors in a potential armed conflict – he continued.
13:24
Nawrocki Appeals to Tusk:
Our Security Demands It
– I am deeply concerned today that the Polish state under Donald Tusk and the government of Donald Tusk is not taking advantage of the situation where Poland holds the presidency of the Council of the European Union. We have waited many years for this to be able to pursue our international policy, also in the area of security, and for Poland to become a leader in relations with the United States and NATO – said Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.
– On behalf of a large part of Poles, I wanted to appeal to the Prime Minister to undertake the convening of an EU-United States summit precisely in Poland. Our security and the security of all of Central Europe demand it – he added.
13:24
Nawrocki Attacks His Opponent:
Decency Requires You to Thank the United Right Governments for the Development of the Polish Army.
– An appeal to Donald Tusk's deputy. I recently listened to his speech in which he said that we are safe because we have contracts, because we have HIMARS, and because we have a large Polish army. Mr. Deputy Donald Tusk, esteemed opponent. Decency in public life requires that when you say such things publicly, you thank the United Right governments for not succumbing to pressure and your words when the Territorial Defence Force was established, and you thank the United Right governments for developing the potential of the Polish Army in terms of military equipment and personnel – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.
14:18
Towards Poland:
This Lack of Gratitude Crashed Against the White House." Nawrocki on Zelensky’s "Ungratefulness
– I of course am not retracting my words. Yes, I believe that Mr. Zelensky did not demonstrate gratitude towards the Polish state and towards his partners, but this lack of gratitude crashed against the White House and against the tough diplomacy of President Donald Trump, which led to the solutions we are observing today following Donald Trump's speech – said Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.
14:18
Nawrocki:
You Have to Be Far From Sane to Accuse Me of Being Pro-Russian
– I acknowledge that all suggestions referring to me in the context of favoring the Russian Federation, not only after this conference but throughout my entire professional life, are slanders that are becoming the rule of this campaign within the Civic Platform (PO) circles. You truly have to be far from sane to see a person who is pursued by the Russian Federation, who faces 5 years in a gulag, as someone who supports the Russian Federation – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.
14:19
Nawrocki on the Situation at the Polish-German Border:
Polish Units Should Be There to Respond
– In the long term, as president, I will do everything to unilaterally renounce the Migration Pact, but as the editor mentioned, and as we know, we don't have time for that because this process is happening now. Polish units should already be there to respond to any instances of illegal migrants being pushed into Poland – said Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.
– If German services are doing this, and they used to, there should be a clear, decisive response from the Polish government, and any German police officer who pushes illegal migrants onto Polish territory should be held accountable, and we will not tolerate such things – he continued.
14:19
Nawrocki on Tariff Implementation:
No One Should Be Surprised, We Must Be Aware That the US is Fighting China's Pressure.
– When it comes to customs policy, no one should be surprised. We must be aware that what the United States is fighting, within the broader architecture of security, but also global economic security, is China's pressure. China's economic pressure, in a situation where the European Union is in chaos and at a turning point – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.

– We are experiencing an explosion of foreigner crime in Poland. This fact was hidden for a long time; let us recall that the previous government even introduced internal regulations preventing the publication of the nationality of perpetrators of crimes. However, one cannot avoid reality forever, and on the last day, the media brought sensational reports leaking from within the police, where frustration is growing. Union leaders and trade union bosses speak about this officially, while unofficially, all officers speak about it – stated Krzysztof Bosak at a press conference in the Sejm.
– We are approaching a situation where half of the murders in Poland are committed by perpetrators of foreign origin. This is a real crisis, considering that just a few years ago we were proud that we were one of the countries in Europe that had neither mass immigration, culturally alien and disrespectful of our legal and cultural norms, nor a problem with foreigner crime – he continued.
– We will send an interpellation to the Ministry of Interior and Administration on this matter and, through parliamentary intervention, we will submit inquiries to the National Police Headquarters. We want Poles to know how things really are. No more pulling the wool over their eyes, no more beating around the bush – he added.

We Cannot Call Crimes, Murders, and Rapes Cultural Enrichment
– Our Poland is a sphere of normality. And to be in a sphere of normality, we cannot call crimes, murders, and rapes cultural enrichment. We do not agree to this, and we do not want a migrant integration centre in Łomża, nor do we want illegal migrants in Poland – said Karol Nawrocki in Łomża.
17:03
– The President's role is to ensure the security of Polish women and men, not to solve the problems of our western neighbors, Germany, who have let in illegal migrants. […] "No" to the delivery of illegal migrants to Poland by German officials. "No" to illegal migration within the territory of the Republic of Poland – stated Karol Nawrocki in Łomża.
– We are and will remain a fortress of security. This must happen, and we must establish an office to combat illegal migration. Such an office will be created on my initiative, should I become President of the Republic of Poland – he declared.

– Do you know what will happen tomorrow? Tomorrow, a man who built the potential of the Polish army, who increased our soldiers from 95,000 to 200,000, a man who signed contracts with South Korea and the United States for our military equipment, and a man who told the truth that Donald Tusk wanted to defend Poland along the Vistula River, they want to strip him of his immunity – Karol Nawrocki said in Łomża.
– They want to strip Minister Mariusz Błaszczak of his immunity for telling the truth about Donald Tusk. Poland cannot look like this – he declared.

Nawrocki on the Elections:
It Will Be a Collision Between Tusk and Nawrocki. There Is No Alternative.
– These elections are essentially a collision between Donald Tusk and Karol Nawrocki. There is no alternative. This is not a collision with Tusk's deputy. Rafał Trzaskowski is merely Donald Tusk's party deputy.

Domański on Subsidies for PiS:
The National Electoral Commission Must Provide Me with Clear Explanations.
– On December 30th, the National Electoral Commission (PKW) adopted a resolution, and this resolution remains internally contradictory and raises numerous doubts. These doubts are expressed by the greatest legal authorities, former constitutionalists, but even current members of the PKW say this resolution is internally contradictory – stated Andrzej Domański in an interview with Marek Tejchman on RMF FM.
– As someone who guards public finances, and how the money of Poles is spent, I have not only the right but also the obligation to obtain explanations from the PKW on how this resolution should be understood – he continued.
– I do not have the power to assess; I must act based on a clear resolution – he emphasized. – The PKW must send me explanations, but clear ones, not three different, internally contradictory positions. I hope the PKW will eventually issue this explanation to me. I will reiterate my calls – said the Minister of Finance.

Accusations on Tusk's Personal Order.
– I am resigning from my parliamentary immunity. This is a consequence of my views; a Member of Parliament should not stand above a citizen, including Tomasz Grodzki. During the elections, I declared that I am in favour of abolishing parliamentary and judicial immunities, so this is my honourable commitment to the citizens – stated Dariusz Matecki in the Sejm.
– I am an innocent person, and the accusations brought against me by the prosecutor's office, forcibly taken over on the personal order of Donald Tusk, who at the very first Sejm session, with hatred in his eyes, shouted that I would be jailed, are merely political revenge, an attempt to eliminate me from public life – the PiS MP continued.

The parties to the conflict, Russia and Ukraine, have not really sat down at the negotiating table yet, and this needs to happen as soon as possible. The advice that is flowing from President Andrzej Duda, primarily towards Kyiv, is: Return to talks with the Americans, because they are the only state and the only leadership that can end this war – stated Małgorzata Paprocka on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

Paprocka:
Today, a Ceasefire and Peace Negotiations Are Most Important
– The association process [of Ukraine with the EU] is of course open. The issue of NATO is an even more complicated matter, because it is known that Ukraine's membership in NATO, due to the guarantees of Article 5, cannot be discussed at all until the end of the conflict. Today, a ceasefire is most important, and today peace negotiations are most important, concluding peace on terms good for Ukraine, also good for us, so that Russia does not emerge victorious from this conflict, and this is obvious – said Małgorzata Paprocka in Polsat News.
– The most important thing for us is that Russia does not emerge from this conflict strengthened in any way; the most important thing for us is weakening Russian imperialism and ensuring Russia is not strong – she added.

– Frankly, I would call this scaring the Polish society [with the potential withdrawal of American troops from Poland]. I don't know on what basis. From all the conversations held in Poland, as well as those conducted in the United States, a clear signal is coming from the American administration that no one has such intentions. There are no such plans today; I want to absolutely reassure everyone in this regard – said Małgorzata Paprocka on Polsat News.

Paprocka on the Ambassadorial Agreement:
This Matter Will Be Resolved in the Coming Weeks.
– A lot has changed, and most importantly, fortunately, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' stance has changed, returning to the established, legal, and customary practice of the past 30 years. Letters concerning the so-called preliminary consent and substantive remarks from the President before the Foreign Affairs Collegium have started to be sent again. This is pleasing. I believe that this matter of pending appointments will also be resolved in the coming weeks – stated Małgorzata Paprocka in Polsat News.

Bosacki:
Trzaskowski Has Gathered a Million Signatures
– It is very interesting [that Rafał Trzaskowski's campaign headquarters' profile was suspended for several hours]. Perhaps because we were just about to announce a great success, which is gathering a million signatures of support for our candidate – said Marcin Bosacki in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i."
– There was probably some report made to platform X regarding some alleged irregularities. After a few hours, it was restored, but all of this is worrying, considering who owns platform X – he assessed.
It was a great honor for me.
