Ukrainians seeking EU temporary protection must show exemption from military mobilisation

The European Commission is introducing new rules for Ukrainians entering the EU. Those applying for temporary protection will need to present a certificate confirming they are exempt from military mobilisation. The change, reported by "Rzeczpospolita", aims to tighten the protection system and reduce the possibility of draft evasion through emigration.

Should Ukrainians seeking EU protection be required to prove military exemption?

Emergency doctor: Polish healthcare reform won't fix ambulance service problems

Dr Grzegorz Faran, an emergency medicine physician, tells oko.press that the planned healthcare reform focuses on queue management and capping doctors' salaries rather than fixing systemic failures. He compares the ambulance service to "a drain where everything flows that isn't handled properly at other stages." The interview comes amid the scandal at Warsaw's Szpital Południowy hospital.

Will a reform focused on capping doctors' pay improve Poland's healthcare system?

"Radioactive rockets" near Kyiv story is Russian disinformation

Reports spread online in multiple languages claimed that Russian forces struck a storage depot for depleted uranium rockets near Kyiv, triggering an evacuation order. Analysis shows the story is a disinformation campaign based on false claims and serious factual errors. Depleted uranium used in certain munitions does not pose a nuclear-level radiological threat.

Are Russian disinformation campaigns effectively influencing public opinion in the West?

Slovakia blocks traffic just beyond Polish S1 — a trap for drivers heading south

After the opening of the S1 expressway and the Węgierska Górka bypass in late 2024, driving south through Europe was expected to become much easier. However, just a few kilometres beyond the Polish-Slovak border, drivers are running into serious traffic bottlenecks on the Slovak side, a problem now widely discussed in Poland. Slovakia has not built adequate infrastructure to handle the traffic generated by the new Polish road.

Should Poland pressure Slovakia to improve roads beyond the border?

Beach parking costs around 20 PLN in Sicily vs. up to 120 PLN in Poland

Beach parking in Sicily costs as little as around 20 PLN (roughly €5), compared to up to 120 PLN at popular Polish seaside spots. Sicily draws visitors with its beaches, historic monuments and sunny weather, but low prices add to its appeal. The stark price difference highlights the cost advantage of Italian island destinations over Polish coastal resorts.

Are high beach parking fees at Polish seaside resorts justified?

EU plans to ban under-13s from social media with phased access for teens

The EU is proposing to legally ban children under 13 from social media apps, giving enforceable weight to an age limit that currently exists in name only. Teenagers aged 13 to 17 would receive "phased and gradual access" under the plan. The proposal targets platforms that have long failed to enforce their own minimum age requirements.

The plan calls for the country's first digital gilt to be issued by early 2027. Tokenized bonds would also be made usable for trading and as collateral for borrowing.
