Propaganda’s mixed response to Russia’s provocation against Poland

The incursion of Russian drones and missiles into Polish airspace echoes the “ikhtamnet” tactic, a sarcastic term for a Russian soldier or mercenary whose deployment abroad is denied by the Kremlin, a strategy long tested in Ukraine and now evident here. The Kremlin is testing NATO’s red lines, while its propaganda machine works to cover the tracks of a creeping war.

Consequences and complications of Russian drones in NATO airspace

Poland's decision to shoot down Russian aerial assets was unprecedented for NATO’s eastern flank. Despite the limited scale of the provocation, the operation demonstrated that NATO interoperability remains at a high level. In reaction to Russia’s actions, Poland invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty and requested urgent consultations, which took place on September 10th.

Russian drones in Poland, will NATO pass the test?

NATO has the opportunity to demonstrate its own strength without a direct military clash with Russia if it takes decisive steps after this provocation. Otherwise, new attempts by the Russian side to penetrate the Alliance’s airspace will be even more large-scale and provocative.

How President-elect Nawrocki could lock Poland into a fossil fuel past

Poland’s position in relation to EU climate policy remains shrouded in uncertainty. While the new government has signalled support for alignment, their conservative rivals remain adamant in their opposition. This is particularly true in the case of President-elect Karol Nawrocki, who looks set to scupper such plans.

Resisting foreign interference: Poland’s presidential election and the Russian challenge

During the months leading up to the June 1st presidential run-off in Poland, the government in Warsaw repeatedly warned of Russian disinformation and interference. But as the dust settled after the vote, a different picture began to emerge. Did Poland really face the threat it claimed – and has it passed the test?

Polish perspective on EU-South America trade deal

The Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the South American bloc MERCOSUR is a prologue to the creation of one of the world's largest markets. However, behind the large-scale economic prospects lie the fierce disputes characteristic of the EU, especially acute in Poland – a country that is traditionally one of the largest agricultural producers in the EU.

Oriental or local? Poland’s Tatar community

The Tatars of Poland remain one of the country’s most enduring ethnic minorities. Arriving in the area as early as the 14th century, this group has maintained its own distinctiveness while adapting to many wider Polish customs. This process has involved as much positive as negative developments.

Had you, 30 or 40 years ago, visited Kruszyniany, a village near the Belarusian border that is home to one of the two traditional Tatar settlements in Poland, you would have encountered the tranquil rhythm of community life centred around bayrams (a Turkic word for festivals or celebrations). In Muslim tradition, religious holidays are moments for families to gather in prayer at a mosque or a cemetery (mizar). To join their relatives in these celebrations, descendants of Tatars from all around Poland would flock to Kruszyniany. However, once the festivities were over, only a few Tatar families stayed in the village, enjoying its tranquillity and the slow pace of life.
