"25 years ago in Lviv, John Paul II said: 'Let historical memory's purification make everyone ready to prioritize what unites over what divides, so that together we may build a future based on mutual respect, brotherly community, brotherly cooperation, and authentic solidarity'" - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on X.

25 lat temu we Lwowie Jan Paweł II powiedział: „Niech dzięki oczyszczeniu pamięci historycznej wszyscy będą gotowi stawiać wyżej to, co jednoczy, niż to, co dzieli, ażeby razem budować przyszłość opartą na wzajemnym szacunku, na braterskiej wspólnocie, braterskiej współpracy i…

"The claims by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Polish President Karol Nawrocki did not want to speak with him to clarify the matter of naming a military unit after the 'heroes' of the UPA are not supported by facts" - wrote Rafał Leśkiewicz on X.

"Initially, the Ukrainian side proposed a phone conversation between the two presidents. Ultimately, it did not happen due to President Zelensky's lack of response. A proposal for a meeting between the two presidents also emerged from President Zelensky's associates. A date and time were set. It did not happen because President Volodymyr Zelensky withdrew from the meeting." - he continued.

"This means that the Ukrainian authorities were not ready to change the name of the military unit bearing the name of criminals under the UPA insignia. It was exclusively playing for time. That's the fact" - he stated.

Twierdzenia Prezydenta Ukrainy Wołodymyra Zełenskiego, że Prezydent RP Karol Nawrocki nie chciał z nim rozmawiać, by wyjaśnić sprawę nadania jednostce wojskowej imienia „bohaterów” UPA nie znajdują pokrycia w faktach.

- Don't be fooled, the Platform has launched a memory-wiping campaign. Dawid Kacprzyk was not an anonymous activist; he was the golden boy of the Platform, the leader of the party's youth wing, promoted and shown alongside the most important PO politicians. Election campaigns, conferences, party meetings. Everywhere alongside the most recognizable faces of the Platform, and today, suddenly, they don't know who he is. Don't be deceived, they knew him very well - says the narrator in a clip published on social media by Mateusz Morawiecki.

- The dispute does not concern Poland's internal politics; all patriots understand the atrocities committed by Ukrainian nationalists on Polish lands, how dramatic those moments were. The dispute concerns the perception of historical issues and the fact that we do not accept the red and black Banderite flag in Poland - stated President Karol Nawrocki in a conversation with journalists.

- I cannot imagine a situation where Polish patriots, and especially the Polish president and the Polish government, are not united and do not stand together in such a situation. Dear Volodymyr, Mr. President, the dispute does not concern Poland's internal affairs at all. These do not exist because Poles know and understand how much evil Ukrainian nationalists have done to Poland, Polish women, Polish men, and Polish children. President Zelenskyy is mistaken - he continued.

"A VIP pathway for party colleagues of KO politicians operated at the Warsaw hospital. The hospital is managed by the Warsaw local government and overseen by 3 city vice-presidents. In a city ruled by the same team for 20 years" - Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz wrote on X.

"The pathologies at the South Warsaw Hospital wouldn't have happened if Warsaw hadn't operated as a closed system of those in power for 20 years" - she continued in her post.

"Therefore, Polska 2050 will not support the removal of the two-term limit for city mayors" - she emphasized.

W Szpitalu w Warszawie funkcjonowała ścieżka VIP dla partyjnych kolegów polityków KO. Szpitalem zarządza warszawski samorząd, a nadzoruje go 3 wiceprezydentów miasta. Miasta, w którym od 20 lat rządzi ta sama ekipa.

- Dear Mr. Ambassador, in connection with the actions and statements of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which have been supported by all former presidents of Ukraine and the vast majority of the Ukrainian political class, I have decided to return two state decorations of Ukraine, with which I was honored for my work towards Ukraine's European integration - wrote Michał Kamiński in a letter addressed to the Ambassador of Ukraine, seen by 300POLITYKA.

*****

"I accepted these decorations as an expression of recognition for my many years of commitment to building a strategic partnership between Poland and Ukraine. I received them, among other things, for authoring the first-ever report in the history of the European Parliament concerning Ukraine's membership in the European Union. Over the years, I also participated in shaping the Eastern policy of the late President of the Republic of Poland, Lech Kaczyński, who consistently advocated for a free, independent, and European Ukraine.

Poland was an advocate for Ukraine in Europe when many European politicians approached Ukraine's aspirations with reservations. We supported Ukraine politically, diplomatically, and economically, consistently striving for its presence in Euro-Atlantic and European structures. For years, we consciously limited historical disputes, recognizing that the future of Polish-Ukrainian relations requires responsibility and goodwill. Unfortunately, today it is difficult to escape the impression that this goodwill has not been met with due reciprocity.

A particularly telling symbol of this state of affairs remains the long-standing difficulties associated with conducting exhumations of Polish victims of the Volhynian massacre, while exhumations of Wehrmacht soldiers were carried out on Ukrainian territory without significant administrative or political obstacles. It is difficult to find a more clear-cut example of a hierarchy of memory with which Poland cannot agree.

For over five years, Ukraine has been fighting against Russian aggression, the costs of which are largely borne by Polish and European taxpayers as well. Poland and Europe have shown Ukraine solidarity on an unprecedented scale. Hundreds of billions of euros in aid, military, political, and humanitarian support, and open borders were an expression of the conviction that Ukraine is fighting for values common to the entire democratic world.

All the more is my astonishment and disappointment that after years of such enormous support from Poland and the whole of Europe, Ukraine has still not managed to unequivocally condemn the perpetrators of the Volhynian massacre and the mass murders committed by the OUN and UPA against citizens of the Republic of Poland. It is difficult to understand why Ukraine continues to find national heroes in circles responsible for one of the most tragic chapters in the history of Polish-Ukrainian relations. It is even harder to understand why, in the 21st century, individuals associated with these crimes are presented as role models of patriotism for successive generations of Ukrainians.

Every nation has the right to shape its own historical memory and choose its own heroes. Poland will not impose its own vision of history on anyone. However, it is equally obvious that Poland has the right to evaluate these choices. If individuals responsible for mass crimes against civilians are made national heroes, Poland has not only the right but also the obligation to react. The choice of heroes is always a choice of values.

I accepted these decorations as an expression of common values that were to form the foundation of relations between Poland and Ukraine. Today, I cannot keep them, as the highest authorities of Ukraine and a significant part of its political elites have still not managed to unequivocally condemn the perpetrators of the Volhynian massacre and the mass murders committed against citizens of the Republic of Poland.

Therefore, I am returning the decorations awarded to me, asking for them to be passed on to the appropriate Ukrainian authorities.

I make this decision with deep regret, but also with the conviction that true partnership between nations can only be built on the foundation of truth, respect for victims, and mutual honesty."

- Polish businesses cannot be burdened with further bureaucratic solutions. You will find this reflected in my decisions as the President of Poland: all deregulation bills prepared by the current Polish government, and in essence by the entrepreneurs themselves, are being signed because we support the direction of deregulation of Polish law - stated President Karol Nawrocki at the Poland Future Summit conference.

- I also acknowledge and am pleased that there is a consensus in the Polish parliament that we should raise the second tax threshold, which affects many young people. This problem affects many young people, but also those who cannot decide to have children. With a consensus in the Polish parliament, I don't understand why today's authorities, today's government, are not taking this initiative - stated President Karol Nawrocki at the Poland Future Summit conference.

- I believe that thanks to today's discussion, this meeting, and what will happen in a moment, Poland will become a hub for reflection on the demographic crisis across the entire EU. We ask for this, which is why we have invited the best specialists from all over the world, from Poland and abroad, so that today's conference contributes to finding certain solutions for our entire European family - stated President Karol Nawrocki at the Poland Future Summit conference.

- In my opinion, he is the antithesis of the politician our voters want to support in Polish politics - said Krzysztof Bosak on Kanał Zero, when asked if he was afraid of Ryszard Petru, given that he wants to form Confederation Light.

- Confederation voters want change, and this is a guy who has probably created 10 different parties along the way, all with an absolutely centrist, slippery, systemic character - he continued.

- Standard drama-mongering. It shouldn't be taken seriously, that's all - Krzysztof Bosak said on Kanał Zero, when asked about the reactions from Andriy Sybiha and Ukrainian President himself to the revocation of the order for Zelensky.

- Of course - he continued, when pressed whether if Zelensky doesn't attend the conference on Ukraine's reconstruction, we should also not worry about it.

- Today, this defense industry will develop, partly thanks to a credit that has come to Poland, a credit from the EU, but I also deeply believe that the parliamentary majority will adopt my solutions, which are contained in the PSL's bill, and thus, the Polish SAFE 0%, it's a brilliant idea, especially to those from abroad I direct these words - said President Karol Nawrocki at the Poland Future Summit conference.

- Here, in Poland and throughout Europe, it will be impossible to build a strong, secure, and developing state without overcoming the demographic crisis, which today affects all of Europe, and also affects Poland and all Polish counties - stated President Karol Nawrocki at the Poland Future Summit conference.

- It's fine, but this gesture should not be overestimated - said Krzysztof Bosak on Kanał Zero, when asked if it was good that Volodymyr Zelenskyy had been stripped of the Order of the White Eagle.

- Anyone raising this to the level of some kind of crisis means they don't understand how international politics works at all - he continued.

- When we talk about security and development, we are essentially talking about one thing. There is no development without security, and no security without development, and the foundation of both in this geographical latitude is demography. To be able to develop, to invest, to attract capital, Poland and Europe must be secure. They cannot be affected by war, and to be secure in the 21st century, as we follow the battlefields and contemporary battles, one simply has to develop - stated President Karol Nawrocki at the Poland Future Summit conference.

- I think the Civic Coalition will face electoral consequences, meaning their support will drop, and this case will become a kind of symbol of their governing style - said Krzysztof Bosak on Kanał Zero.

- I wrote in one of my first comments that they treat the state like this hospital. And unfortunately, that's how it looks a bit. And I think people are starting to see it. In my opinion, for the past year or two, there has been growing disappointment among Civic Coalition supporters. They expected something a little different, and they got a quality of governance, in my opinion, worse than what the previous, criticized government presented - he continued.

- The entire team managing the Civic Platform in Warsaw should be scrutinized - said Krzysztof Bosak on Kanał Zero.

- I believe he should leave the government. I was surprised that he took such a high position in the government at all. Perhaps my imagination is insufficient [...] I believe there should be further consequences, and this is not the only bad thing happening in Warsaw. Much more is happening in Warsaw, in areas subordinate to the Civic Coalition - he continued, when asked about Marcin Kierwiński.

- In my opinion, yes - he added, when pressed whether Marcin Kierwiński should cease to be the Minister of Interior and Administration.

- I am dissatisfied that we have to define how to conduct policy in an area whose finances we know very little about. So, for many years, I have been saying the same thing: we will disclose the finances of healthcare facilities and National Health Fund (NFZ) branches. This is public money. There is no reason to apply privacy laws to it as if it were a private sector - said Krzysztof Bosak on Kanale Zero.

- I would absolutely not rule it out - said Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Robert Mazurek on Kanał Zero, when asked if Konfederacja would be able to support a bill introducing maximum salary caps for doctors in public healthcare.

- However, in my opinion, the limits are not important, because that is the wrong question. What is important is what we get for that money. Since '19, we have been saying that increasing spending on healthcare without setting qualitative requirements makes no sense - he continued.

- In '19, we were the only party that did not succumb to the populism of PiS, Platforma, Lewica, PSL, I don't know if anyone else was there, and did not sign the pact for health. The philosophy of the Pact for Health was very simple: more money, it will be better. It does not get better just from "more money". There must be requirements. The same applies to doctors. Let them earn very well, but let it be clear what is in return. And if in return there is absence from the hospital, work in some cases, as it turns out, unfortunately fictitious in several places at once, then there is no point in paying for it - he continued.

- I value her greatly [Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka], but I think there's still a path for the minister to such high office [like prime minister], but who knows - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on Radio Zet.

- No [the Rzeszów airport is not in need of renovation], it was recently renovated – stated Tomasz Siemoniak on Radio Zet.

- It is the Prime Minister's decision [whether there will be a counter-signature to the president's decision regarding the Order of the White Eagle], but in a situation where President Zelensky decided to send it back, meaning to renounce this decoration, I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that this matter is now moot - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on Radio Zet.

- I assess this [mass return of Polish orders by Ukrainian politicians] negatively. This is because if successive presidents of Ukraine, who received such high Polish decorations, are returning them, it's as if they are crossing out decades of building these relations. Poland was the first to recognize Ukraine's independence, the Bielecki government in 1991; a great deal has happened over the years, and this action, while obviously having a political and symbolic character, I assess negatively - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on Radio Zet.

- Of course, everyone has the right to return an order they possess, but it seems to me that this is an escalation that builds very strong emotions and from which it will be difficult to retreat later - he continued.

- We should not make hasty, rushed decisions, because this is about Poland's interests. Ukraine is defending Europe, Poland, against Russian aggression, while we should undoubtedly draw consequences from this entire situation, that is absolutely clear to me. Not for today [we should not limit aid to Ukraine] - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.

- I believe otherwise, I believe that military assistance should absolutely be provided [...] as long as Russia is entangled in the war in eastern Ukraine, it is beneficial for Poland, because it buys us time to carry out reforms and expand the Polish armed forces ourselves - said Michał Dworczyk on TOK FM, when asked about Przemysław Czarnek's suggestion that aid to Ukraine should be stopped.

- I believe it was a good, very difficult, but good decision by President Duda [...]. Let's recall the chronology, the president gave the Ukrainian side a considerable amount of time to withdraw from this decision or to correct it. I am also aware of informal discussions that took place, and there was indeed ample room for action, which the Ukrainians consciously did not utilize - said Michał Dworczyk on TOK FM.

- I believe that Polish-Ukrainian military cooperation remains very important for building security in our part of Europe, for the security of Poland and Ukraine - said Michał Dworczyk on TOK FM.

- We are likely facing the most serious crisis in Polish-Ukrainian relations in years. Unfortunately, I suspected that such a culmination of emotions would occur sooner or later, but it must also be clearly stated that, in my opinion, these were conscious decisions by a part of the Ukrainian political and business elite or establishment - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Dominika Wielowieyska on "Poranek TOK FM".

At 10:00 AM in Warsaw, President Karol Nawrocki will participate in the Poland Future Summit conference.
