A leaner government, new ministries, personnel changes, and three Deputy Prime Ministers - Prime Minister Donald Tusk presented the details of the government reshuffle at the Chancellery. The decisions are guided by the motto: order, security, and future. Changes in the structure and composition of the government are intended to accelerate efforts to build a strong, modern, and resilient Poland. Contemporary external and internal threats require strong leadership in areas such as border protection, foreign policy, and the restoration of the rule of law. A new financial-economic center and a Ministry of Energy will also be established to consolidate economic and energy policy.

Ukraine continues to resist brutal Russian aggression every day, which is why the foremost task of the international community is to ensure its support. At the same time, we must look to the future - toward Ukraine's reconstruction and its integration into the European Union. Prime Minister Donald Tusk participated in the Ukraine Recovery Conference, held this year in Rome. Rebuilding Ukraine is not only an act of assistance - it is also a chance to develop joint projects that offer real, mutual benefits. Talks are underway for Poland to host next year's Ukraine Recovery Conference.

Poland and the Netherlands are strengthening cooperation in the face of the challenges Europe is confronting today - this was the main conclusion of the meeting between Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland. The outcomes of their talks include the signing of a "Memorandum on Polish-Dutch Defence Cooperation” by the two countries' defence ministers, plans to deepen economic collaboration, and efforts to enhance Europe's global competitiveness. Prime Minister Tusk also emphasized that strengthening the protection of Poland's borders - including the temporary reintroduction of controls on the borders with Germany and Lithuania - serves the security interests of all Europe.

On 2 July, precisely at 1:15 PM, Prime Minister Donald Tusk connected live with space. Specifically, with the International Space Station (ISS), where Polish astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski is currently stationed as part of the Ax-4 mission. The video conference was also attended by Deputy Prime Ministers Władysław Kosiniak-Kamyszand Krzysztof Gawkowski, as well as Minister of Development and Technology Krzysztof Paszyk.

Starting on 7 July, Poland will temporarily reinstate controls at its borders with Germany and Lithuania. This is the government's response to the changing migration situation and to Germany's continued restrictive border policy toward migrants. The decision was announced following a security briefing attended by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, and Minister Tomasz Siemoniak. The controls will be implemented with respect for citizens' interests and are aimed at protecting national security and borders.

Unprecedented progress in strengthening Europe's defense and competitiveness-this is how Poland's EU presidency can be summed up at the conclusion of the final European Council summit of the semester. Shortly after the summit in Brussels, Prime Minister Donald Tusk recalled the presidency's major achievements, including the SAFE defense loan program and the deregulatory "Omnibus” directives. The summit focused on security, defense, competitiveness, and the situations in Ukraine and the Middle East.

During its presidency, Poland brought about a breakthrough in two priority areas of EU policy - strengthening security and enhancing competitiveness. Prime Minister Donald Tusk received congratulations and praise for Poland's achievements from European leaders, as he summarized the past six months before departing Brussels on Friday. Poland reminded Europe that the times have changed and that today's geopolitical situation demands bold decisions on issues such as defense funding and illegal migration. The adoption of the Omnibus directives marks a major step in deregulation, aimed at boosting the EU's competitiveness. With the presidency concluded, full focus now returns to domestic affairs - the main challenge remains restoring the rule of law in Poland.

Three, two, one... the loud countdown to the launch of the Ax-4 mission rocket echoed not only at Cape Canaveral but also across Poland - including at the Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw, where Prime Minister Donald Tusk watched the broadcast of this historic moment. Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, the second Pole in space, will spend approximately two weeks on the International Space Station (ISS).

Minister Adam Szłapka will become the government spokesman. This decision was announced today by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Due to his current responsibilities, Minister Szłapka will formally assume the role after the conclusion of Poland's presidency of the EU Council, but he already declares 24/7 availability.

Poland is investing in its security. Mesko, the country's leading ammunition producer, now manufactures 1 million rounds of small-caliber ammunition per day-five times more than before. This increase is thanks to a new production hall in Skarżysko-Kamienna, which was visited today by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Investments like this are part of a broader strategy to repolonize the defense industry and reduce dependency on foreign suppliers. The government has announced further multi-billion investments in Polish defense facilities. National security and building independent production capacity are top priorities.
