Germany and France together are now too small to govern Europe. Together they do not even have a blocking minority.

Poland is not only the largest of the ten countries that joined the EU in 2004. Our economy is now among the 20 largest in the world.

As our great compatriot John Paul II once said: Europe must breathe with two lungs — one western and one eastern. Poland wants to represent the interests of our part of Europe.

Poland today has more tanks than Germany, France and the United Kingdom combined — and this advantage will grow in the coming years.

You have to listen to Trump; he doesn't hide his position.

He's asking: What cards do you have? So we need to have a better hand. Currently, we have a strong hand, since we're the ones paying for Ukraine 's armament, indeed for the Ukrainian state itself.

Therefore, we have a right to have our interests, that is, European interests, taken into account in any peace settlement.

We've received a long letter from President Herzog's office denying that he went to Epstein's island.

In fact, denying unequivocally that he had any contact with Epstein ever. They didn't know each other. They'd never emailed with each other, never been in the same room. They had no relationship of any kind.

I've gotten a lot of letters like this over the years from people alleging, "Oh, you got it wrong." But rarely do you get a denial this unequivocal. And so for that reason, we are taking it seriously. There's nothing worse than impugning the reputation of an innocent man.

Of course, I don't know that Isaac Herzog was on the island. I was referring to that email and the protest against him, but I don't know that and I didn't mean to suggest that I do know that.

Again, President Herzog says he's never had any contact with Epstein ever.

Germany must return to affordable and secure energy. That includes returning to nuclear power.

We must buy oil and gas where it is cheapest — and that is in Russia.

We want a dialogue. We want an exchange, a level of conversation with the U.S. and also with Russia.

Because peace in Europe is only possible with Russia, not without it, and that's why we have always considered our relationship with Russia to be wrong.

End this senseless dying in Ukraine.

Why did the Western states, led in particular by Great Britain, prevent the Istanbul agreement in 2022? That would have been a better peace settlement for Zelensky than what is being discussed today.

Anyone who called for diplomacy was defamed as a Putin sympathizer. What kind of argument is that?
