Nawrocki Revokes Order of the White Eagle After Ukraine Names Unit After UPA

Presidential spokesman Rafał Leśkiewicz explained the move on TVN24 as applying the "principle of reciprocity," calling the timing appropriate. Leśkiewicz also addressed potential conditions for a meeting between Nawrocki and Zelensky, without specifying a date.

May 2025: New housing starts drop 21% from April

Poland's housing market cooled sharply in May after an optimistic April, with new housing starts falling by over 3,000 — a 21% drop compared to the previous month.

Should the government intervene to stimulate the housing market?

The look relies on semi-transparency, magnetic particles, and matte or glossy layering rather than a flat brown polish. It suits nails of any length and is considered both sophisticated and eye-catching.
