-- "MY FRIEND, PRESIDENT OF POLAND KAROL NAWROCKI, MET WITH ME LAST SEPTEMBER AND ASKED FOR MY HELP IN RELEASING ANDRZEJ POCZOBUT," WROTE THE US PRESIDENT: "My friend, President of Poland Karol Nawrocki, met with me last September and asked for my help in releasing Andrzej Poczobut from a Belarusian prison. Today, thanks to our efforts, Poczobut is free," Trump noted. "The United States keeps its word to its allies and friends," he added.

-- "I UNDERSTAND THE GREAT RISK OF BEING IMPRISONED AGAIN, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT MY PRESENCE IN BELARUS WILL STRENGTHEN THE ORGANIZATION, STRENGTHEN POLISHNESS - ANDRZEJ POCZOBUT IN HIS FIRST TEXT AFTER RELEASE - IN GW: “I understand the great risk of being imprisoned again, but at the same time I have no doubt that my presence in Belarus will strengthen the organization, strengthen Polishness and, paradoxically, may also reduce repression against Poles. That is why I want to take this risk. I also believe that sooner or later Alexander Lukashenko will want to normalize relations with his neighbors, including Poland. I believe that without normalizing the situation of the Polish minority in Belarus, a similar thaw in bilateral relations will not be possible. Therefore, after I improve my health, I intend to return to Grodno, to return to the Union of Poles in Belarus.”

-- SUSIE WILES INTERVENED REGARDING ZIOBRO - DOMINIKA WIELOWIEYSKA IN GW: “Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski received assurances three weeks ago from Ambassador Rose that the United States would not grant refuge to Hungarian escapees. However, PiS reached Trump through the MAGA movement and through White House team head Susie Wiles.”

-- "TRUMP DECIDED THAT HIS ONLY ALLY IN EUROPE IS LAW AND JUSTICE" - WIELOWIEYSKA CONTINUES: “After Viktor Orbán's election losses in Hungary, angry about this fact, Trump decided that his only ally was Law and Justice, and therefore agreed to let Ziobro in. Of the anti-EU formations in Europe, Trump is left only with PiS, because Hungary has dropped out, Giorgia Meloni, the Prime Minister of Italy, has turned away from him, and even 'betrayed' him – as they say in Washington. The AfD is reluctant towards the USA, and the Trump administration has never had very good relations with Marine Le Pen's French nationalist party.”

-- THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE FAILED TO OBTAIN AN INTERNATIONAL ARREST WARRANT FOR ZIOBRO. THIS IS, INCIDENTALLY, A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW SLOWLY THE 'ACCOUNTABILITY' PROMISSED TO HIS VOTERS BY DONALD TUSK IS PROCEEDING - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “Another matter is that apart from lacking a passport, Ziobro is, in the eyes of the law, a free person. The prosecutor's office failed to obtain an international arrest warrant for him. This is, incidentally, a good example of how slowly the 'accountability' promised to his voters by Donald Tusk is proceeding.”

-- "A POLITICIAN INSIGNIFICANT TODAY AND A MINOR FIGURE IN THE CURRENT POLITICAL LANDSCAPE HAS BECOME THE CAUSE OF A MAJOR PROBLEM IN RELATIONS WITH THE USA" - SZUŁDRZYŃSKI'S CONCLUSION:

-- "POLAND IS NOT PURSUING ZIOBRO AT ALL" - MARIUSZ JAŁOSZEWSKI IN OKO.PRESS: “Zbigniew Ziobro is in the USA, and Poland is not pursuing him at all. For three months, the District Court in Warsaw has not issued a final decision on consent to arrest. And this is significant, because only after this decision is issued can Poland apply for the extradition of the former Minister of Justice from the USA.”

-- "POLAND MUST SEND EVIDENCE, AND THE CONDITION OF DUAL CRIMINALITY OF THE ACT IN POLAND AND THE UNITED STATES MUST ALSO BE MET" - JAŁOSZEWSKI CONTINUES IN OKO: “The procedure may take a long time and it is not certain whether the USA will extradite Ziobro to Poland. The decision is made by a federal court. Poland must send evidence, and the condition of dual criminality of the act in Poland and the United States must also be met. The court will consider whether Ziobro can count on a fair trial in Poland and will take his health condition into account.”

-- "HOWEVER, A YEAR HAS PASSED, AND NOT A SINGLE MAN (LET ALONE A WOMAN) HAS UNDERGONE TRAINING IN ANY OF THE SEVERAL MODELS DONALD TUSK SPOKE ABOUT" - PIOTR GURSZTYN ON WPOLITYCE: “The Polish Army lacks reserves. However, a year has passed, and not a single man (let alone a woman) has undergone training in any of the several models Donald Tusk spoke about. The only forms of training available to volunteers, thanks to which reserves are being replenished, are models created during the 'PiS occupation' (using Donald Tusk's unforgettable term). Namely, the Territorial Defence Force from the time of Minister Antoni Macierewicz. And the Voluntary Basic Military Service plus the 'Holiday with the Army' program created by Minister Mariusz Błaszczak.”

-- "HE ANNOUNCED SOMETHING EXTREMELY ALARMING AND DID NOTHING MORE. HAS ANYTHING EXTRAORDINARY HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE, DEAR READERS? HAS ANYONE AMONG YOU BEEN UNEXPECTEDLY CALLED FOR RESERVE EXERCISES?" - PIOTR GURSZTYN CONTINUES: “It is no different with Tusk's recent loud statement. The one about the risk of Russian aggression in the perspective of even a few months. The context is such that it cannot be dismissed or ridiculed. Russia is an aggressive dictatorship whose logic of action is completely different from that of our civilization circle. The point, however, is that nothing followed the Prime Minister's words. He announced something extremely alarming and did nothing more. Has anything extraordinary happened in your life, dear readers? Has anyone among you been unexpectedly called for reserve exercises? Perhaps a friend? Has the army started taking an interest in civilian off-road vehicles, trucks, specialized equipment? No, and the army has precisely inventoried this, so owners would quickly learn that the moment is approaching when their equipment will be requisitioned for national defense needs.”

-- "THESE WARNINGS ACT LIKE FALSE ALARMS. THEY NUMB THE SOCIETY, ROB IT OF TRUST IN ITS OWN STATE, AND ACCUSTOM IT TO DISREGARDING MESSAGES" - GURSZTYN'S CONCLUSION: “When it concerns other areas of life, one can laugh at him as a grotesque PR man for his own cause. However, this does not concern the most important issue, which is national security. Here, the damage will be palpable. Because there is an obvious suggestion that PR matters more to him than hard work on building Poland's potential. Also, that because PR is his priority, Tusk is incapable of making difficult decisions. And finally, that these warnings act like false alarms. They numb society, rob it of trust in its own state, and accustom it to disregarding messages when the threat of war becomes a reality.”
