— NATO IS FUNCTIONING, SO ESCALATION TO ARTICLE FIVE IS NOT NECESSARY, AND COULD EVEN BE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE – MICHAŁ PIEKARSKI IN OKO.PRESS: “However, it would be advisable for Poland to gain greater allied support, both in terms of fighter aircraft and support forces. In the longer term, strengthening its own defensive capabilities is necessary.”
— IT MAY ALSO BE ABOUT INSTILLING A SENSE OF THREAT OF WAR IN POLAND AND EUROPE – PIEKARSKI FURTHER IN OKO.PRESS: “This is probably related to the 'Zapad' exercises planned for the coming days – the escalation of tension may be used by Russia to further pressure European countries, including Poland. It may also be about instilling a sense of threat of war breaking out in Poland and Europe. Unfortunately, this is exactly what a strike that would be the beginning of open aggression might look like, when drones and missiles are launched not for provocation, but to hit targets on our territory. The Russian attack is presumably testing the reaction of the Polish state and society, including state authorities and the armed forces. Fortunately for us, the defense system worked, and one can say that the air force passed the test.”

— RUSSIA IS TESTING POLAND. WE ALL NEED TO GROW UP QUICKLY – ARTUR BARTKIEWICZ IN RZ: “This is not the time to prove to each other with posts on platform X or malicious remarks at press conferences who is on top in the Polish-Polish war, where the Presidential Palace and the Prime Minister's Chancellery have now become the battlements. In the face of a real threat, we cannot afford to be divided. Since morning, we have been receiving signals about constant contact between the Presidential Chancellery and the government. And that's good. But this is how it must continue to look in the coming days, weeks, and months. It's time to grow up, because history is beginning to demand it from us. This is not about who gains one or two political points. This is about the security of the Republic.”

— MOSCOW IS TESTING US – AGATA KAŹMIERSKA AND WOJCIECH BRZEZIŃSKI IN TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY: “NATO's air defense system worked: at least several drones were shot down by Polish and allied fighter jets. NATO had been preparing for such a scenario for three and a half years. While politicians and commentators argued, the Alliance was developing plans for such an eventuality. Let's hope it is ready.”

— "NOTHING OF THE SORT WILL HAPPEN" – A KEY PSL POLITICIAN ON THE POTENTIAL REMOVAL OF MICHAŁ KAMIŃSKI – IN A TEXT BY SEBASTIAN BIAŁACH IN ONET: "- In our party, the option to defend Michał Kamiński won. The other side can shout and demand his dismissal from the position of Deputy Speaker of the Senate, but nothing of the sort will happen," a key PSL politician tells us in the Sejm. The topic was not even raised at the last meeting of the PSL parliamentary club: "There was no such topic at the club meeting," responds MP Wiesław Różyński to our question. "No one among us is even discussing it," adds another PSL parliamentarian, Henryk Smolarz."
