Trump's consecutive calls with Putin and Zelensky dominated coverage, revealing divergent narratives. Morning headlines focused on Trump's denial of Kremlin claims about their conversation, while Polish media dissected Putin's minimal Ukraine concessions. By midday, President Duda's letter to PM Tusk regarding Barbara Skrzypek's death emerged with seven pointed questions, continuing the political battle that began Sunday. Tusk's dismissive response ("get used to it") further inflamed tensions.
Trump-Zelensky call later generated cautious optimism with Trump declaring they were "on a good path," while Zelensky mentioned potential for "lasting peace this year." The call reportedly discussed Ukrainian children's return from Russia and potential US involvement with Ukrainian nuclear plants.
Other significant developments included prosecutor Wrzosek receiving police protection after threats, continuing the Skrzypek saga's spillover. Police searched opposition-era activist Majdzik's home, which PiS characterized as "Stalinist methods" and an attempt to distract from Skrzypek's death.
