Filip Dąb-Mirowski wrote that Donald Trump announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin regarding the resumption of Russian diesel exports to international markets. According to the author, the U.S. Department of the Treasury suspended related sanctions until April 7, 2027. Dąb-Mirowski assessed that sales could provide Russia with funds for further waging war, as the planned budget deficit was expected to be twice as high as initially anticipated, and the economy and finances were experiencing the greatest collapse since the 1990s. He also wrote that Putin was cutting social spending, directing funds to the military. The author noted that Russia would not be able to supply the planned volumes, reaching 3 million tons, in the foreseeable future. He cited the shutdown of the largest refineries due to Ukrainian airstrikes, limited maritime export capabilities, and prioritization of domestic market supply as reasons. He added that supplies of that size would not impact the global market, as they would be too small relative to its needs. Dąb-Mirowski speculated that the agreement could precede an American ultimatum to Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian petrochemicals. He also pointed out that it was announced during a visit by a Ukrainian delegation to Florida, where they were supposed to prepare a peace plan together with American negotiators. According to the author, President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed frustration that Ukraine was acting as a shield for negotiations with Russia. The author claimed that the Republicans were heading for a historic defeat in the upcoming midterms, which were to take place in four weeks, and Trump wanted to lower fuel prices in the U.S. Dąb-Mirowski indicated the Strait of Hormuz as the heart of the problem, which — he wrote — Trump had failed to resolve. He summarized that in his opinion, this confirmed the pro-Russian nature of the current U.S. administration. #Trump #Putin #sankcje (translated)

In 2026, Russia's military spending will reach a record level of 17 trillion rubles, or nearly 200 billion dollars, which represents a 40% increase compared to previous budget plans, and this decision was made after a failed meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. #Putin #Wojna #WydatkiWojska (translated)

The author of the entry, citing a report by the Polish Economic Institute, stated that between 2004 and 2024, depopulation affected 70% of Polish communes. According to the findings mentioned in the report, per capita expenditures on public services increased in depopulating communes, while own revenues decreased as the local economy contracted. #depopulacja #gminy #Polska #PL (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that Poland spent a lot, and in terms of total tax, fee, and contribution revenues, it ranked only 17th in the EU.

The author of the entry accused Bogucki, head of Nawrocki's office, of re-publishing a fragment of Nawrocki's speech from Stargard on October 2nd on October 6th. He pointed out that the day before, Nawrocki had said in his message that he did not want "an ongoing political war," and the following day blamed Donald Tusk's government for public finance problems and stated that the government was indebting Poles by 900 million zł daily, while every day "2000 apartments" were being lost. The author questioned these calculations. He wrote that 900 million zł daily would mean about 328.5 billion zł annually, while the maximum budget deficit for 2026 is noted to be 271.7 billion zł, or about 744 million zł daily. He added that according to data from the Ministry of Finance, the debt of the sector of government and local government institutions according to EU methodology increased in the first half of 2026 by 263.2 billion zł, which—he calculated—would be about 1.45 billion zł daily on average. He asked what category of debt, methodology, and period the 900 million zł figure referred to. Referring to the 2000 apartments daily, the author calculated that at the amount of 900 million zł, it would mean 450,000 zł per apartment. He assessed such a comparison as lacking economic value without indicating which state expenditures should be limited or what revenues should be increased. He noted that a deficit means that expenditures exceed revenues, and the expenditures funded by it include, among others, defense, benefits, healthcare, investments, and debt service. The author also questioned Nawrocki's statement that Tusk's government indebted Poles by 1 trillion zł within four years. He reminded that the government was appointed on December 13, 2023, and by the day of the speech in Stargard, on October 2, 2026, it had not even been in power for three full years. He added that the statement could refer to a forecast for four years, but—as he pointed out—Nawrocki did not present it as a forecast. #Polska #Polityka #FinansePubliczne (translated)

The author wrote that Russia has been significantly increasing its defense spending, despite official estimates indicating that revenues from oil and gas were set to constitute a historically low percentage of total revenue: 16.2% in 2026 and 16.6% in 2027. #Rosja #obrona #energia #PL #RU (translated)

The author of the entry, citing the Bloomberg agency, wrote that the Kremlin's military spending was projected to be $205 billion in 2027, or 17.1 trillion rubles.
