"The information currently available to the services does not allow us to confirm that this attack may be related to any kind of chain or situation that we have spoken about across the country in the last 48 hours," emphasized Police Headquarters spokesman Commissioner Jacek Wiśniewski. #ataknożem #szkoła #Warszawa (translated)

Wuja Jurek ⚽️🇵🇱 summarized the October training camp of the Polish national team, criticizing both the squad decisions and the team's performances. Among the events, he mentioned the dispute over call-ups and the absence of Karol Czubak in the squad, as well as the popular topic on X linking Czubak with Jan Urban. He also mentioned the scandal involving the recording of Łukasz Wachowski and Cezary Kulesza, whom he described as drunk, and the alleged change of the child leading Robert Lewandowski onto the pitch. The author deemed the match against Bosnia very poor, especially in the first half, and rated the final balance of four matches as a mere four points. He criticized Jan Urban for questioning the penalty and positively assessing the team’s play. He noted that Jan Bednarek caused a penalty, leading to Poland's loss to the Bosnians. He observed that Lewandowski scored three goals before being suspended for cards and not flying to the last match in Bosnia. He added that after his goals, commentators stopped suggesting he should retire and once again regarded him as a key player for the team. In his summary, Wuja Jurek also described Pietuszewski's call-up for the match against Sweden, joking that he could have strengthened the stands and tried the meatballs in the VIP area. He wrote that Potulski did not play again during the camp after a decent first appearance, and Wojciech Mońka watched the match against Romania from the stands once again before joining the youth national team. He also criticized Puchacz for a defensive mistake and a yellow card, as well as Wiśniewski for his behavior during the third goal, reminding that the player later explained letting go of Viktor Gyökeres with lessons learned from Italy. The author noted that the information about the goalkeeper coach's responsibility for defensive set pieces came to light during the camp. He also compared Julian Hall's debut in the USA national team after Kulesza's visit to that country and his two goals with the results of Polish teams: the U-21 team's victory over Sweden and Jerzy Brzęczek's team’s defeat to Italy. He wrote that after the youth team's victory, Brzęczek was increasingly pointed out as a future selector of the senior team, but after the loss to Italy, he was no longer presented as a possible savior and successor to Urban. Wuja Jurek also mentioned the victory over Romania after a red card, which he described as lucky, and the game 10 on 10 when Karol Świderski spent a full 90 minutes on the pitch. He noted Świderski's another appearance for the national team and Włodar's appeal in the Meczyków program to raise Marcin Bułka's rating for saving Jakub Kiwior's dangerous shot. Among other events, he mentioned a trend on social media involving Pucha2115, who — he wrote — swapped a JBL speaker for a Bible, and the recurring debate about playing with three or four defenders. #ReprezentacjaPolski #PiłkaNożna #Ekstraklasa (translated)

The Socios Wisła Kraków Association called on the Polish Football Association (PZPN), its president Cezary Kulesza, and Ekstraklasa S.A. to urgently investigate Legia Warsaw's decision to close the away section and to take actions that would allow an authorized group of Wisła fans to participate in the match scheduled for October 11. The association stated that it represents over 5,000 people and considered that the closure of the sector directly affects the community it represents. Socios referred to the response from the spokesperson of the Warsaw Police Headquarters, Chief Inspector Jacek Wiśniewski, given to editor Bartosz Karcz. According to the association, the police clarified that the correspondence was initiated by Legia, and the response concerned changes proposed by the club. It was not a post-control protocol nor a reaction to a specific match or incident; the police did not order the closure of the sector nor set a deadline for modernization. Socios emphasized that, according to the police's position, the decision to make the sector available was up to Legia as the organizer of the mass event. The association pointed out that Legia justified the closure of the sector until the end of 2026 with the scope and urgency of the works. In its opinion, the necessity and duration of the restriction should be supported by specific documentation. Socios also cited information from the Board of Greenery of the City of Warsaw, according to which Legia had been using city land serving the sector without a contract since 2017, and discussions regarding the regulation of this situation began in the summer of 2026. The association noted that Legia indicated the September international break as a convenient time to resolve the land issue. Socios demanded an examination of the documents, an urgent site visit involving both clubs, the police, PZPN, and Ekstraklasa S.A., as well as checking the schedule of works and the possibility of implementing alternative solutions. It also called for an assessment of Legia's decision in terms of competition rules and infrastructure and licensing issues, and subsequently for the public presentation of the findings before the match. The association declared support for TS Wisła Kraków S.A. in legal actions related to the exclusion of an organized group of fans, including financing the costs of proceedings and legal services. It emphasized that clarifying the matter after the meeting will not restore the fans' ability to participate in it. #WisłaKraków #Ekstraklasa #PZPN (translated)

Tomasz Włodarczyk criticized Jan Urban's decisions, pointing out that if the goal was to gradually build a new Polish national team, more than the poor results, he was troubled by the mistakes in the selection of solutions. He mentioned, among other things, the withdrawal from the position of Kiwior at left back, the sudden return to a three-defender formation, and the omission of Wiśniewski, the resignation from Puchacz, and the placement of Świderski on the wing both when wingers were available and when strikers were lacking. The author assessed that Urban, as a coach, should observe more, yet he repeated the mistakes made by his predecessors. He noted that young players, including Nowak and Potulski, did not disappoint during the camp, and the mistakes concerning Mońca, Gurgul, or Mazurek could be considered mitigating circumstances. He added that the national team forgives less than clubs and should not be a place for regularly testing solutions that are highly unlikely to work. Włodarczyk also accused Urban of not providing enough options in attack and left back through his selections. He reminded that Poland played four matches in eleven days, and the coach should consider injuries, suspensions, and the course of the matches. After the loss in a key game, he considered the lack of options for substitutions in attack to be a serious mistake; he pointed out that a strong striker good in the air could have been useful in recovering from a deficit. The author assessed that Urban had little time, but wanted him to be given a chance for correction in November, as the camp provided him with some concrete answers. He acknowledged that others might find this insufficient, while emphasizing that simply changing the coach would not solve the problems, especially if done hastily. #ReprezentacjaPolski #JanUrban #Futbol (translated)

Oskar Pietuszewski is in the match squad for Romania. UEFA has updated the match roster of our national team. There was no place for Wojciech Mońka and Przemysław Wiśniewski. #reprezentacja #UEFA #mecz (translated)

‼️ 🎙️ Jakub Wawrzyniak admitted that he wrote to Kamil Glik about the statement regarding "CONSCIOUSLY LETTING GO OF GYOKERES," and we have the perspective of a defender who at one time was the captain of Torino! 🗣️ 🇵🇱 Przemysław Wiśniewski: "I consciously let Gyokeres go. That’s what they taught me in Italy, to take the player who is entering the zone, because it’s hard for me to go back for the player as a central defender." 🗣️ 🇵🇱 Kamil Glik responds: "Fortunately, I was taught differently in Italy." #PiłkaNożna #SerieA #ReprezentacjaPolski (translated)

We have the ability to overinterpret. The Tu-95MS disaster caused a lot of speculation. Meanwhile, there is no point in speculating. We shouldn't attribute any intentions to people suggesting things, as legends then circulate. Operational commander, Maj. Gen. pilot Ireneusz Nowak, sarcastically wrote that "Perhaps this particular one was the carrier of the Ch-101, which ended its flight near Tarnawa!" Just that, and that is enough. I am lucky to personally know General Nowak; he is from the old guard of the F-16, people trained in the USA, pilots often retrained by veterans of American military actions, mentally shaped as "tactical minded." Among this group were the first base commanders, division generals Darek Malinowski and Czarek Wiśniewski, along with Jacek Pszczoła, also a division general, a laid-back person who cannot be ruffled, and at the door of his office in Łask, there was at one time a sticker with a large wasp. They are exceptionally competent people, calm but capable of making quick decisions and unafraid of the responsibility for them. Another characteristic feature is truly outstanding intelligence. Why am I writing about this? Because people at this intellectual level often fall into the trap that what is clear and obvious to them is incomprehensible to others, and their minds drift into fascinating directions, to places that make one’s hair stand on end, wondering how it is even possible. That was the case this time as well. The flood of comments is overwhelming; personally, I was stunned. Scholars of the holy scripture wrote that the general suggests it was Polish saboteurs from Kedyw-bis. What can drop on a person's head, drops (in my case, my jaw, both hands, and the other leg). Maj. Gen. Ireneusz Nowak DOES NOT SUGGEST ANYTHING LIKE THAT. This is a gross overinterpretation. He only wrote that it may have been this Tu-95MS that fired the Ch-101 missile, which landed in Poland, as established as a result of deliberate action, not a mistake (such an impact point was in the navigational system’s memory, the only chance for a mistake being incorrect input of coordinates, which is very unlikely). Additionally, the missile did perform a classic "bump" with a vertical attack, driving into the ground almost at a right angle to it, executing the attack at the programmed location. Since the Tu-95MS belonging to the 22nd Guards Donbas Heavy Bomber Division from Engels (now Olenia) and to the 326th Tarnopol Heavy Bomber Division from Ukraine rotate to Engels or, less frequently, to Akhtubinsk to fire the Ch-101 at Ukraine for several hours, it is theoretically possible that this aircraft launched that missile (about 1 in 40 odds, as there are that many of them). What Maj. Gen. Ireneusz Nowak REALLY suggested, Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, somewhat more directly stated. The experienced politician knows that you have to lay it on the line for the simpletons because they will twist everything. They will make things up, add remarks, and generally go off in the wrong direction. Mark Rutte said several really important things: "Vladimir Putin knows he can never win against NATO; NATO is so strong that Russia has no chance of overcoming it." What does this mean? That NATO MUST BE UNITARY. WE MUST NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE DIVIDED. He added: "NATO will defend every square kilometer of its territory. There is no doubt about it, and Putin knows this (...) If anything happens, we are ready to respond." “Well, first, about the word 'hybrid' – I have said this many times already. It sounds a bit too mild, almost cozy. In reality, we are talking about aggressive tactics in the gray zone. What we are dealing with is hostile drones, acts of diversion, sabotage, and even massive cyberattacks." "But I want to make it clear: we have all the response options we need. You will not always see them publicly. They will not always be symmetrical. It will not always operate on a 'tit for tat' basis, but I assure you that we have the tools for effective response, and the Russians know this perfectly well." THIS IS KEY. NATO IS NOT PASSIVE. NATO has many different tools for hybrid responses to Russia's hybrid attacks. And if Maj. Gen. Nowak suggested anything, IT WAS JUST THAT. You just need to understand it, know the context, listen to the statements of leading NATO politicians, and everything will become clear. And further Mark Rutte: “I do not claim that these malicious actions in the gray zone do not affect us. They do affect us, and sometimes it is very evident. However, our response can be multidimensional. Let’s look at the past. When, at the end of 2025, an underwater cable between Finland and Estonia was damaged, we launched Operation Baltic Sentry to protect our critical dilatory infrastructure. This was an example of a symmetrical response. But what happens next is asymmetric actions. More and more allies, such as Sweden, the United Kingdom, Belgium, or France, are taking coordinated steps to maximize the disruption of the Russian 'shadow fleet'. We are doing everything to make those rusted tankers stop generating the profits the Kremlin uses to fund its war machine." "Yesterday, the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe (SACEUR) stated plainly: 'Whenever you are able, when you are almost certain that the Russians stand behind an attack, publicly assign them the blame.' Just like Estonia did today. I fully support this and encourage it. Share all intelligence information with NATO and SHAPE structures. Russia continues its reckless campaign of hostile actions against NATO, trying to weaken our resolve and force us to stop supporting Kyiv. But it is failing. Our message to Moscow is clear: in response to any actions in the gray zone, we will do even more for Ukraine, not less. Because ultimately their only goal is to divide us so we lose focus and start arguing among ourselves." NATO is responding. NATO is providing Ukraine with a lot of ammunition. And Ukraine sends it further, to where it needs to land with a bang. NATO makes it harder for the shadow fleet to operate. It combats Russian spy networks; since the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022, NATO member states have expelled around 750 Russian diplomats: Bulgaria 83, Germany 80, Romania 52, Poland 45, France 40. How many "one-time saboteurs" are recruited in Russia for pennies remains a sweet mystery. But there, strangely enough, many different failures occur: trains derail, various things catch fire, blackouts appear, etc. Much of this is done by Ukrainians, but is it all? Who knows, who knows... Today, such saboteurs are rented online for pennies, massively, like cheap drones. They do it, and can we? And how do you know that there are no other intrigues? For example, discreet info in Kremlin circles that one is conspiring against another. Therefore, NATO has tools and can respond, which it is doing. Mainly in the field of cyberattacks that Russia is feeling. As for the Tu-95MS itself - if three engines go out at once, assuming it is true, in most cases it is due to fuel issues, either a break in fuel supply to the engines or fuel contamination, blocked filters, etc. Ukraine has seriously damaged the refineries producing aviation fuel. Often this production has been taken over by other refineries when technically possible. You can easily guess the quality of this fuel. So there could have been "not enough kerosene in the kerosene." Another issue is that the intensive use, these long hours of flights from Ukraine or Olenia to Engels, suspending missiles, and flying to launch over the Caspian Sea (if something goes wrong, the missile falls into the water), and then returning to the home base is about resources, resources, resources... Old bombers and their engines are wearing out at an accelerated pace. How do you think maintenance, spare parts, and technical servicing levels are? Well, exactly, the Russian bomber fleet is systematically degrading, and this can only be pleasing. Because we don't need those bombers for anything. In the picture, a "noisy cricket," the Tu-95MS, code-named "Bear" by NATO. Phot.
