Poland just did what others only debate.
The Sejm passed an amnesty law exempting Poles fighting for Ukraine from criminal liability, including those already convicted.

Europe is sending a message in every language it speaks.
From Copenhagen to Paris, the numbers are brutal for Donald Trump.
When 76–94% view you unfavorably, that’s not a PR problem.

The Russian army is trying to advance on Konstantinovka.
The tactics of the Russian troops are unchanged.
They first destroy the logistical routes with attack drones, and then enter the city in small, assault, infantry groups.
