Commentator: Ukraine's National Pantheon gesture is a trap for Poland

Commentator Artur Bartkiewicz warns that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha's proposal to place Polish general Marek Bezruczko in Ukraine's National Pantheon may be part of a broader diplomatic strategy. Bartkiewicz argues the gesture is a trap set for Poland. He suggests Ukraine has been conducting a calculated historical policy towards Warsaw for some time.

Should Poland accept Ukraine's proposal to include Bezruczko in the National Pantheon?

Binance dropped its MiCA application but remains committed to the EU

Binance's Europe head Gillian Lynch said the exchange withdrew its MiCA licence application days before the July 1 deadline but remains committed to operating in the EU. Binance has already met Greece's licensing requirements and holds a licence there. Lynch argued that MiCA should be judged by who it licenses rather than who it excludes.

Are MiCA regulations too restrictive for major crypto exchanges?

Chilled fruit soup as a summer meal: a refreshing no-cook dish for hot days

When July temperatures hit 30°C in the shade, a chilled fruit soup makes a light, refreshing alternative to a traditional hot meal. The dish uses the same fruits typically blended into lemonades or smoothies, but served as a cold soup in a bowl rather than a drink in a jug. It requires no cooking and is ready quickly.

Alicja Horosz: Bhutan was meant to be a trip of a lifetime — it turned out to be her biggest disappointment

Traveller Alicja Horosz spoke with Sabina Zięba about the countries that impressed her most and those that let her down the most. Bhutan — long shrouded in mystery and for years heavily restricted for foreign tourists — turned out to be her greatest travel disappointment. Despite having visited much of the world, Horosz says some journeys still stay with her for a long time, thanks to landscapes, people and the emotions they stir.

Is Bhutan worth its high cost and tourist restrictions?

Orlen sells HVO100 abroad despite producing it in Płock, Poland

Orlen has launched sales of renewable diesel HVO100 at its first station in Slovakia, having previously introduced it in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. The fuel is manufactured at Orlen's refinery in Płock, yet Polish drivers cannot buy it at domestic Orlen stations. HVO100 requires no engine modifications and is part of the company's decarbonisation strategy.

Should Orlen prioritise selling HVO100 at Polish stations before exporting it?

US Civil War: industrial North vs feudal South – a fight over money and slavery

In the mid-19th century the US was starkly divided: the capitalist North was building industry while the South maintained a feudal plantation economy based on enslaved labour. The Civil War was therefore a conflict not only over the rights of Black Americans but also over economic dominance and the country's direction. The two regions held incompatible visions for the nation's future.

Was economics a more important cause of the Civil War than slavery?

Industry analyst: Sony ending disc releases by 2028 unlikely to change Nintendo's plans

Sony announced it will end disc-based PlayStation game releases by 2028, prompting questions about the future of physical media across all console platforms. Circana senior director Mat Piscatella told VGC he does not expect the move to influence Nintendo's strategy, saying simply, "Nintendo is going to be Nintendo." Nintendo has historically followed its own path regardless of competitors' decisions.

Should Nintendo follow Sony and phase out physical game releases?

He warned that threatening Ukraine with exclusion from the EU over the Bandera issue could backfire and produce the opposite of the intended effect. Hrycak is a long-standing advocate of Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation.

Polish emigrants build billion-dollar AI companies in Silicon Valley

Polish engineers and entrepreneurs are increasingly settling in Silicon Valley, building AI startups valued at billions of dollars and building careers at companies like Google and SpaceX. This marks a shift from earlier waves of economic emigration — today Poles go to the US not out of poverty, but in pursuit of technological success. Poland is emerging as a key talent source for the global AI industry.
