Highlights from this month's print and digital editions:
Newsmark
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statement that the United States is strongly contemplating abandoning NATO is serious. After NATO refused to join his assault on Iran, Trump told The Telegraph that he was seriously considering leaving the international coalition.
Poland summoned Israel’s chargé d’affaires, demanding an apology after Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir shared a video mocking detained activists, including Polish citizens. As part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, activists from 56 countries launched 70 vessels to break Israel’s naval barrier and raise awareness of Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. Israeli forces held 420 people on the ships in international seas, including the Polish volunteers.
Poland’s failure to restore and protect the Oder River after previous environmental disasters led the European Commission to initiate infringement proceedings.
Poor river water quality created algal blooms that killed 360 tons of fish in 2022 and 100 tons in 2024.
The Polish State Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) has found a mass grave in Ukraine where Ukrainian nationalists massacred ethnic Poles in the Volhynia massacres during World War II. The IPN found the remains on the first day of search operations in Ostrówki and Wola Ostrowiecka, posting photos.
