Today’s agenda highlights from the Foreign Affairs Council (Development) with our Deputy Minister Wojciech Zajączkowski:
• 🌍 Future of EU external action in a changing geopolitical context.
• 🔗 Role of Global Gateway in supporting sustainable investment worldwide.
Kremlin constantly tries to whitewash its crimes past and present.
Russia has always pursued colonialist ambitions and used armed force to achieve its dirty goals.
No bogus excuse can change facts - Soviet Union was an occupier.

Our PSC Ambassador Michał Mazur welcomed future diplomats from the Polish Diplomatic Academy 🎓.
The meetings focused on sharing insights into proffessional experience at both Polish and European levels, and practical advice for future careers in international affairs. 🤝
The visit also included a guided tour of the Council of the European Union 🇪🇺.
Wishing all aspiring diplomats every success in their future professional endeavours! 💼👏🏻
🚑 Since 2014, Damian has been saving the lives of soldiers and civilians in Ukraine. 🇵🇱 🇺🇦
Together with fellow Polish volunteer battlefield medics from the “W międzyczasie” group, he works just behind Ukraine’s front line. He provides first aid and evacuates the wounded where conditions are toughest and every second matters – often under fire, close to Russian positions.
He also shares his experience with others – through workshops and training sessions, he teaches how to respond effectively when a life may depend on quick action.
Damian’s story is one of courage, responsibility and cooperation. There are days when Polish volunteers evacuate dozens of wounded soldiers from the front line. Every life saved is proof that we are strongest when we stand together. ❤️

History tells that brutal dictators MUST be stopped until the price gets too high.
Kremlin publicly embraces the USSR’s crimes as its legacy. No amount of historical distortion can vindicate the Soviets’ own role as occupiers.
Occupation is not liberation.

Europe Day wouldn’t be complete without questions about Poland to get a Polish sticker 🇵🇱.
Some of the answers truly surprised us.
We were also very happy to have welcomed the President of the European Council 🇪🇺, António Costa, who impressed everyone with his Polish words: “Dziękuję” and “Pączek” 🍩
Here’s a short Polish glossary from the video:
🇵🇱 Dzień dobry — good morning ☀️
🇵🇱 Dziękuję / thank you 🙏
🇵🇱 Pączek / Donut 🍩
🇵🇱 Pierogi / Polish dumplings 🥟
🇵🇱 Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła / Poland is not yet lost
May 1945 did not mean the end of occupation for Poland.
The USSR occupied us, used military force to crush the efforts to restore the statehood after WWII, and engaged in history distortion, hiding its crimes.
Such “liberators” are called occupiers.
