At 3:00 PM Polish time, the head of state will attend a ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of the UN's establishment.

At 4:30 PM, the President will meet with the President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google, Ruth Porat, at 5:15 PM – with Jewish communities, and at 6:15 PM. with the President of the World Jewish Congress, Mr. R. Lauder.

At 7:15 PM, Karol Nawrocki will meet with the presidents of Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia, and at 11:40 PM – with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. The last item on the agenda is a meeting with the President of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly, Annalena Baerbock – at midnight Polish time.

- We must shoot down what is a threat to civilians and our infrastructure. I believe the Russians are escalating the conflict with the eastern flank of NATO, including Poland, and I think – there seems to be a consensus on this – we simply need to consider, I believe these contingency decisions are essentially already made in the minds of politicians, decision-makers, and the broader allied and our own general staff - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.

- Here, the arguments are decidedly divided [in the Mateusz Morawiecki–Zbigniew Ziobro dispute]. Overall, I think I lean closer to Zbigniew Ziobro, but I perfectly understand why Vice-President Morawiecki, when he was Prime Minister, took the directions of action that he did - said Tobiasz Bocheński in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News’ “Graffiti”.

- He negotiated in good faith, and Ursula von der Leyen negotiated in bad faith. So, this combination could not lead to a positive outcome, but at that time, nobody knew what outcome would be achieved – and the goal was to bring money into Poland - he continued.

- Time has shown that a firm, categorical, hawkish stance would have been better - he stated.

- As a historian, I would also be reluctant to say that the outbreak of another war is certain. Besides, the Third World War has been announced so many times that I no longer know which war would be breaking out now. No, we simply need to react adequately to what Russia is doing. The times are over when someone in Poland, someone very serious, told us that we shouldn't do something at all, for example, install an American anti-missile shield in Poland, because the Russians would get upset and simply shoot in our direction or strengthen their missile battery in the Kaliningrad Oblast. Those times are over - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on Radio Zet.

- It's not groundbreaking from Mr. Szczucki [that the justice reform under PiS failed]. Yes, I agree. It failed for various reasons - said Tobiasz Bocheński in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

- Let's remember that it's not just about pressure from international institutions, but also about the decisions of President Andrzej Duda. Because today's justice system functions as it does based on his laws, which he, after all, prepared - he stated.

- So this endeavor was not successful, but the essence of the matter remains, and we must reform the justice system and the third branch of government - he added.

- We should act according to procedures, which means it's not like if something enters our airspace, rockets should be fired in the next second. However, we must be ready for the possibility that if such a need arises, then of course, that's what the army is for, to fight foreign interference, to fight intruders who might have hostile intentions - Paweł Jabłoński said in the 'Morning Conversation' on RMF FM.

- No, because I am against conscription [...] I believe we should have universal, mass, voluntary military training. Six months ago, Prime Minister Donald Tusk spoke about this in the Sejm, and I even recently asked a question in an interpellation about what is happening with it - said Paweł Jabłoński in RMF FM, when asked if reintroducing compulsory military service is a good idea.

- It is essentially unprecedented for Russia to have an embassy in such a representative location, perhaps in no other country, not even in the former Soviet bloc - said Paweł Jabłoński on RMF FM.

- I believe this is what should happen [taking back the land of the current embassy from Russia], there are legal possibilities for it. I would opt for it because it is simply inappropriate for a state that is hostile towards us to have an embassy in a location directly adjacent to the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of National Defence, and the Belvedere - he continued.

- Diplomatic missions are absolutely inviolable, however, there is a possibility of notifying that the host state does not consent to the continuation of such activities in a given location, proposing an alternative property - he went on to say.

- I propose Mr. Siemoniak, the Ministry of National Defence, Mr. Dobrzyński, and a few other gentlemen from Donald Tusk's government, a confrontation over these notes. There is a parliamentary committee for special services, perhaps this is the forum, or even the national defence committee. The note has a low classification and within the scope of parliamentary control, all political parties represented in the Polish parliament could scrutinize the note from September 12th and see what it contains - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on Radio Zet.

- Minister, Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski, his behavior is a bit strange to me, because this narrative that he would really like to be invited by the president, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Wroński, says that there was some kind of tradition, there was never such a tradition - Paweł Jabłoński said on RMF FM.

- I believe that Minister Przydacz is behaving as he should, meaning he is responding to things that shouldn't be happening at all, if Sikorski hadn't started talking such nonsense, I apologize, but that's how it should be described, what Mr. Sikorski is doing is unserious, Minister Przydacz is responding as it is, stating the reality, the procedures, and also diplomatic customs - he continued.

- It was never the case that the president was obliged or that it was a custom for him to always take a minister; quite the contrary, it happened rather rarely, rather deputy ministers accompanied the president on delegations - he went on to say.

- The President can do as he pleases. It’s a shame it’s to the detriment of the child, because it’s good for a child to learn how, for example, to counteract addictions, maintain hygiene, how important exercise and diet are, mental health, how to gain strength and resilience, and to learn about relationships… - Barbara Nowacka said on TVP Info’s “Morning Guest,” when asked by Mariusz Piekarski about the presidential couple’s decision to withdraw their son from health education classes.

- Frankly, I don't see any added value in the MFA's activity in recent weeks at all, which I deeply regret, because this is a time when such added value should be present - said Paweł Jabłoński on RMF FM.

- I don't see any added value in Bogdan Klich's activity in the USA at all. What great achievements has he made there? He is completely absent there when it comes to meetings at any high level - he continued.

- The Ministry does not have such data [how many students have opted out of health education]. School principals will have this data by the end of this week, and then they will enter it into the system, so probably at the beginning of October we will know the situation regarding health education - said Barbara Nowacka on "Guest of the Morning" on TVP Info.

- We believed it should be mandatory, but I also don't want wars in schools. I think sometimes things need to be introduced more calmly. However, yes - the Ministry of National Education stands by the position that this subject is simply necessary and should be mandatory - she indicated.

- Certainly more than half of the children will opt out, I have not the slightest doubt about that - she stated.

- I believe that for the sake of certain hygiene related simply to Poland's credibility, Minister Bosacki should lose his position. But that is my private opinion - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on Radio Zet.

- In Poland, we have Russian disinformation that is trying to damage our relations with our best, biggest ally, the United States [...]. I am not aware of any statements by President Trump that would undermine Polish-American relations - said Paweł Szefernaker in an interview with Michał Wróblewski on the WP program "Tłit".

- In Poland, there is too much information that discredits relations with our ally. 10,000 American soldiers are in Poland today, and I am not surprised that such information, aimed at discrediting these relations, is flowing into Poland from beyond the eastern border, because this relationship provides Poland with security today - he continued.

- This is the President's decision [regarding the WSI annex], and we, so to speak, executively at the National Security Bureau (BBN), specifically General Andrzej Kowalski, are working on it. It has been communicated publicly many times [that the President has already made such a decision] and the President is in favor of us preparing this document, taking into account the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling for publication, and this process has begun. We are still awaiting various legal opinions concerning the extent to which we should anonymize this document and how to implement the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on Radio Zet.

"This is a decision of allies. This is a decision of all those who are supporting Ukraine today and who, from the very beginning, sided with the Western countries, with NATO, and with peace," said Paweł Szefernaker in an interview with WP, when asked about the shooting down of drones on NATO territory.

"This is a matter of allied decisions. Consequently, the decision of one or another country on this matter is irrelevant here, because these are allied decisions [...] these decisions should be joint," he continued.

- The era of deal-making is over. This is the Republic of Poland, the President of the Republic of Poland, who will speak from the position of president, not from the position of any deals - Paweł Szefernaker said in an interview with WP, when asked if any compromise, any deal with the government concerning several ambassadors, was possible.

- Poles today expect the implementation of a program that will ensure their security and international respect, and people like Mr. Manager Klich do not guarantee this. And this is not a matter of some deal, because no one will be implementing any deals with the government. The policy of the Republic of Poland will be implemented - he continued.

- I am very pleased that we can write another chapter of 'Our Railway' together here in Kashubia, in my family's home region, actually the most familial region. Because my great-grandparents come precisely from these areas, but of course, it's not family sentiment that is the reason I am here today with my Kashubian friends, local authorities, regional authorities, and village heads - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Sierakowice.

- Today, we are opening this next chapter of 'Our Railway' by commencing the implementation of a commitment I made in 2023, during a meeting in Kartuzy, if I remember correctly, and once again today, I don't know, perhaps for the hundredth time, Tadeusz Kobiela, the long-serving village head of Sierakowice, reminded me for the 100th time that this railway line, Kartuzy-Lębork, must become a reality - the Prime Minister continued.

- This is yet another piece of evidence that we do, not just talk. This means that if we want a nuclear power plant and cheaper, secure electricity, we must also build special rail and road connections here, because building a nuclear power plant is truly something, it's a gigantic undertaking - he emphasized.

- Thanks to what happened in 2023, meaning thanks to the victory on October 15th, it's no longer politicians, party leaders, or the prime minister who decide who is guilty and who is not, but rather the courts. I'm not delving into the specifics of this case [Sławomir Nowak]. I feel neither satisfaction, nor sadness, nor joy - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Sierakowice.

- It's not in those terms. I intend to respect court judgments, regardless of whether they please me or anyone else, and I am happy that with difficulty, it's a very difficult process, but we are rebuilding a Poland where judgments are made by courts, not politicians - he continued.

- We will unquestionably make decisions to shoot down flying objects when they violate our territory and fly over Poland. There is nothing to discuss here. When we are dealing with unclear situations, for example, the recent flight of Russian fighter jets over the Petrobaltic platform, but without violation, because these are not our territorial waters, one must think twice indeed before making a decision on actions that could trigger a very sharp phase of conflict, and that is why we are here primarily in constant agreement with our allies - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Sierakowice.

- We are ready for any decision aimed at destroying objects that could threaten us, for example, Russian fighter jets, if they violate our... For instance, if they fly over our territorial waters, but I also need to have 100% certainty, and you understand well, I won't elaborate on this point, that all allies will treat this in exactly the same way as we do. I need to have 100% certainty that in a situation where the conflict enters such a very sharp phase, we will not be alone - the head of government continued.

- With all due respect, the declaration or announcement from the President of the Czech Republic is insufficient. You can guess what need I am talking about - he said.

- No, I am not satisfied with what happened there. For obvious reasons. I would prefer that they also took example from those local governments that consistently try to combat the negative consequences of this alcohol liberalism, because in Poland, access to alcohol is indeed very widespread, and in many places, especially in big cities, the presence of intoxicated people at night, whether near homes or in city centers, is not pleasant  - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Sierakowice.

- Of course, it is difficult for me to deal with these types of issues. I am not responsible for the Warsaw local government, but I think it could have been resolved much better - he continued.

- I have read the various speculations and guesses, but as far as I know, I don’t deal with this on a daily basis; the cooperation between Mr. Trzaskowski and Mr. Kierwiński is good and they agreed on the entire procedure, and it turned out as it did. I didn’t like the whole spectacle, of course - he emphasized.

- I see there's no chemistry between the president and the foreign minister, but perhaps they need a little more time to better synchronize - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Sierakowice.

- Government representatives today say that over 3,200 contracts [related to the KPO] have been audited, of which irregularities were detected in only 7, with several dozen more to be re-examined. However, government representatives have not, in any way, responded to media reports in recent weeks that indicate funds from the National Reconstruction Plan have been channeled to the families of politicians from the current ruling coalition - said Rafał Bochenek at a press conference.

- The beneficiaries are wives, husbands, sons, and daughters of politicians from the current ruling coalition, which we are presenting at today's exhibition, which we are launching here [...] "The Rich from KPO," that's the name of this exhibition - he continued.

- We are once again asking the ruling party questions about the criteria for distributing these funds, how it happened that their colleagues in the government very often decided on the allocation of funds, and the beneficiaries are again the families of other politicians from the current ruling coalition, why no consequences have been drawn [...] and whether the politicians and their families will return these funds - he continued.

- Terrible things are happening there, and those responsible will have to face the consequences. There is no excuse for it. For years I have been, and I remain very consistent, I will always be an advocate for the interests of the State of Israel in its confrontations with terrorism. There is no room for discussion here either. We all know well that the beginning of this conflict was Hamas's crime against Israel's civilian population - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Sierakowice.

- We know this, we know under what pressure from Iran, some Arab states, and terrorists Israel has operated for many, many years, but what is happening in Gaza is absolutely unacceptable and it is ruining the image and history, the efforts of Israel, the State of Israel. Crimes must be called by their name, and there is no justification for killing children or starving the civilian population. And that Hamas is responsible or co-responsible for this - yes, we know that, and that is still no excuse for what Israel has decided to do - he continued.

- Ziobro and Morawiecki argued over who harmed PiS more in the elections. As an objective expert, I can reconcile you: you both tied for second place. There's only one winner – wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on platform X.

Ziobro i Morawiecki pokłócili się o to, który z nich bardziej zaszkodził PiS-owi w wyborach. Jako obiektywny ekspert mogę was pogodzić: zajęliście ex aequo drugie miejsce. Zwycięzca jest jeden.

— Donald Tusk (@donaldtusk) September 22, 2025

- I would like you to know that all these rumors circulating supposedly in Łódź about some kind of change, that someone will return here, someone who had great merits, but that is already history, unfortunately time moves on for everyone, all of this is, as we say today, fake news. It has nothing to do with reality - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Łódź.

- It can be said that it did not come to fruition. We failed to implement it, and that is the policy of rebuilding the state. It collapsed because one would have to start it with the reconstruction of the judiciary, and that did not succeed, and we must say it clearly - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Łódź.

- It did not succeed because President Duda, to our surprise, vetoed the fundamental bill leading to this change, without any consultation with us, and that was a devastating blow. In Poland, the systemic structure is such that the cognizance of the courts is so broadly defined that in reality, no reforms can be carried out without reforming the judiciary - he continued.

- Poland needs a new Constitution. A new Constitution that will, on the one hand, be the foundation of a new state organization, but will also be the foundation of something more. This will be, in a way, a sign, a sign that we already have a new Poland - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Łódź.

- Because this post-communist one, which has existed for these 30-odd years, although this post-communism, even by us, during 8 years of our rule, and before that another 2, and before that a few months, also of our rule, when the Prime Minister was the late Jan Olszewski, was questioned, but we never managed to completely dismantle it - he continued.

- We must unite again. We must unite the Polish patriotic camp. Because it's not the case, even though I would very much like it to be, that all Poles are patriots, and it has never been like that in our history, and probably never was in the history of other nations either - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Łódź.

- First and foremost, making the Russian Federation realize that it is violating the United Nations Charter, that it is not fulfilling its obligation as a permanent member of the Security Council to maintain peace - said Radosław Sikorski before the UN Security Council session, when asked about the purpose of this council and what can be achieved through this meeting.

- Membership in the Security Council is not an immunity from violating international law, from war crimes, but rather imposes an additional obligation to strive for peace - he continued.

Kaczyński:

- The Constitution is best simply enacted in accordance with the provisions of the existing one. 2/3 of the votes, over half in the Senate. A long procedure, much longer than for ordinary laws and more complicated, but 2/3 of the votes is not easy to obtain, so we must also look for other possibilities. Not to break the Constitution, but to acknowledge that the current one practically does not apply at this moment - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Łódź.

- This extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council was convened because, just a week after Russia sent drones over Poland, three Russian MiG-31s with transponders turned off entered Estonian airspace without authorization, where they remained for 12 minutes - said Radosław Sikorski during the UN Security Council meeting.

- On the same day, two Russian fighter jets violated the safety zone over a Polish drilling platform in our economic zone over the Baltic Sea. If these were accidents, why not admit to them immediately and apologize? We have given Russia the opportunity for something like this in the past, but no apologies were offered, we only heard lies - he continued.

- These airspace violations are suspicious because they are an escalation of the hybrid war that Russia has been waging against the West for years. [...] This Council has a responsibility to send a clear message that such provocations will not be tolerated - he continued.

- To the representatives of Russia, I will say only this: we know that you do not care about international law and are incapable of living in peace with your neighbors. Your insane nationalism contains a lust for domination that will not cease until you realize that the age of empires has passed, and your empire will never be rebuilt - said Radosław Sikorski during the UN Security Council.

- Do not start another [war]. [...] I have only one request to the Russian government: if another missile or plane enters our airspace without permission, intentionally or accidentally, and is shot down, and the wreckage falls onto NATO territory, then please, do not come to us to beg about it. You have been warned - he continued.

- In Polish affairs, everyone at their own level must strive for the realization of Polish foreign policy, which is formulated by the Council of Ministers. Mr. President [Karol Nawrocki] has personal relations with President Trump, so I truly count on the fact that - whether in a dinner setting or bilaterally - the President will achieve what we are striving for - and not only Poland, but many European countries - which is that he will convince President Trump to finally impose sanctions on Putin - said Radosław Sikorski at a press briefing in New York.

- Prime Minister Donald Tusk has already said in Poland that if hostile machines threaten Poland and Poles, they must reckon with consequences - Radosław Sikorski said at a press briefing in New York.

- We, of course, see the facts, meaning the entry of over 20 drones, we know where they were launched from. We know that, unlike those that flew to Ukraine, it was not a mix of armed and unarmed drones, but only unarmed ones, which suggests they had a special task - he continued.

- If someone sends aircraft or drones over NATO skies, they must reckon with consequences. We will not give firm declarations of what we will and will not do, but a warning was issued here that if it is over NATO territory and if wreckage falls on NATO territory, then in light of international law we acted in self-defense and Russia will have no right to make claims - he indicated.

- There are an awful lot of misrepresentations and false statements in this matter. The Warsaw City Council decided to launch a comprehensive program dedicated to reducing the problems resulting from the amount of alcohol sold in Warsaw. This will include a special threat map, strengthened patrols by the City Guard and police, proper diagnostics, and a more restrictive policy regarding the number of licenses issued for places where alcohol can be sold... - said Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News's “Gość Wydarzeń”.

- The City Council [of Warsaw] decided to introduce a pilot program [for the nighttime ban on alcohol sales] in the two most... in the districts where this problem is most acute, namely in Śródmieście and Praga-Północ, in order to check if this is an effective tool in combating the problem of the amount of alcohol being sold. And this is a joint project of the KO councilors' club and President Trzaskowski - said Marcin Kierwiński in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- If, as a result of this pilot program, which we want to launch very, very quickly - I say 'we' as KO [...] - it turns out to be the right tool, then this program - Rafał Trzaskowski spoke about this - will be extended to other districts - he stated.

- I really don't understand why there is so much ill will to tell the story that PO is not introducing this ban. It is introducing it, but it is introducing it in a way that allows its effects to be measured - he added.

- Putting an end to any speculation that has arisen on this matter [the nighttime alcohol ban]: I have not spoken with Prime Minister Donald Tusk… – said Marcin Kierwiński on Polsat News’s “Gość Wydarzeń”.

- Did you not receive the green light to torpedo President Trzaskowski’s project? – asked Bogdan Rymanowski.

- Oh dear, Mr. Editor… You, such an experienced journalist and truly… – replied Kierwiński.

- On this matter [of night-time prohibition], we have a shared opinion with President Trzaskowski. What has been adopted is a common, developed program - said Marcin Kierwiński on "Gość Wydarzeń" Polsat News.

- Rafał Trzaskowski and I have been cooperating for many, many years. We are good colleagues. […] I can tell you that even today, Rafał Trzaskowski and I were discussing that perhaps communication on this matter failed. We talked about how to communicate our intentions so that they are as understandable as possible - he continued.

As he assured: - Rafał Trzaskowski and I cooperate and will continue to cooperate. There was and will be no rivalry between us.

- These people were simply misled by the very frequently cited 100 specifics, which were never intended to be implemented, let alone within 100 days, and many other elements, including the very name of this initiative. This camp called itself, and still calls itself, the democratic camp and claims to be restoring the rule of law, even though in reality it has absolutely nothing to do with democracy, about as much as the communist camp had in the 1940s. - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

- We must have a new, better Poland. A better Poland, meaning one that will be able to reject all this pathology that was linked to a system that unfortunately has not passed, I cannot say it has passed, but still exists - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

- We do not need cruelty, we do not need guillotines, although we need punishment for those who are currently breaking the law, they must be punished - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

"A very bad idea" - Jarosław Kaczyński stated in an interview with Polsat News, when asked for his reaction to the proposal for a debate involving Zbigniew Ziobro and Mateusz Morawiecki.

"Such debates within a single camp make no sense whatsoever" - he continued, when pressed for his reasons why.

- Karol Nawrocki has to 'wrestle' with the government over decisions concerning, for example, ambassadors, and many other decisions. Soon, he'll be wrestling for a plane. That's how it will look, and elements of this are already appearing, it's a dispute with Sikorski - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

- We are the country that [was] the first to shoot down an aircraft over NATO territory during this armed conflict, and Poland is a pioneer in such actions against Russian provocations. […] We are ready for any scenario, and we demonstrated this very clearly on September 10th. The Polish Armed Forces, our allies, the commanders, who have my full support, did not hesitate to issue the appropriate orders - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Justyna Dobrosz-Oracz on TVP Info's “Pytanie dnia” (Question of the Day).

- That is not true [that the President was not informed about what fell on the house in Wyrzyki]. The president is informed about everything. There are specific notes, and I will defend the operational commander and the chief of staff here, that they did not conceal anything from the president. After all, we also receive information from them - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Pytanie dnia" on TVP Info.

- There is no need to confront anything here, because these notes are in the National Security Bureau (BBN). There are also meetings in which BBN representatives participated. There was a meeting of the Security Committee on Tuesday morning a week ago, where these issues were also discussed and a BBN representative was present - he continued.

- Towards the president, what purpose would we have in not informing him? - asked the Deputy Prime Minister.

- The Confederation already declares that it wants to govern with someone else, and besides, well, Nowa Nadzieja (New Hope) is a party that espouses social Darwinism in its worst form. After all, we are a party of social solidarity, solidaristic, one that wants to implement the social teaching of the Church. Not because we are a confessional party, not everyone in our party is a believer, but simply because such a prescription for social life, the disregard for which, a rupture from which, leads today in the West, for example, in the USA, to a very severe crisis - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

- Research conducted based on exit polls, and exit polls have a very large sample size and they ask not only who you voted for, there are many other questions, based on this research we can say that both to the right and to the left of us, we have a significant reserve of votes. This reserve of votes needs to be won - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.
