Polish media extensively covered the 81st anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising throughout the day. Commemorations began with historical reflections and President Duda's participation, culminating in widespread reporting of Warsaw observing "Hour W" in the afternoon, when the city fell silent and sirens wailed across various outlets. Domestically, Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek's controversial reforms continued to draw attention, including protests and scrutiny over his judicial appointments, building on previous days' reports of his extensive changes. A new international development emerged in the afternoon as Russian President Putin responded to Trump's ultimatum by demanding Ukraine's surrender. This quickly escalated, with President Trump ordering the deployment of nuclear submarines in response to Medvedev's statements, a major development prominently covered by late afternoon.
