Polish media on October 18 continued its focus on international relations, with early morning reports highlighting Donald Trump's discussions with Volodymyr Zelensky regarding an end to the conflict and the potential supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. This narrative was intertwined with reports of Vladimir Putin's efforts to counter these moves with peace talks.
Later in the morning, the media also addressed domestic issues such as the effectiveness of the Tusk government and criticisms from conservative outlets. By the afternoon and evening, the central theme remained Trump's perceived influence on US decisions concerning aid to Ukraine, with several outlets characterizing his peace efforts as a "farcical dance" and noting reports of Russian desertions from the army.
The day concluded with further discussions on Trump's visit to Budapest and the ongoing protests against him in the USA.
