Trump tariffs will push the Europeans and other American allies to seek other strategic options. I was delighted to speak with @AdamSJasser on the tarrifs, European far-right and Orban on the latest episode of @TVPWorld_com show face-to-face

"They [Ukraine] need a big step now," said Heather Grabbe [@HeatherGrabbe], Senior fellow at Bruegel think tank, calling for a stronger EU commitment to Ukraine, closer integration before full membership, and a deeper security partnership rather than making Kyiv wait for accession.

Ukraine & Moldova are in EU accession talks. But is the Merz "associate membership" proposal a shortcut — or a more comfortable waiting room? @HeatherGrabbe (Bruegel) & @RikardJozwiak (@RFERL) debate it on @TVPWorld Wider View 👇 youtu.be/DHUIUhGUwjY #EUEnlargement #Ukraine

Three big stories on Ukraine this week — NATO, Kinburn, EU accession. I joined @MaciejMikos on @tvpworld’s News In-Depth: m.youtube.com/watch?v=YwqKzv… #Ukraine #NATO #EUAccession

Nikol Pashinyan wins. Armenia has chosen continuity and confirmed its pro-European direction. An important signal that the future of the region is still being written.

Russia tried to swing Armenia’s election. It didn’t work. What does this mean for the South Caucasus, the Azerbaijan peace process & Moscow’s influence? New episode of Wider View from Brussels 👇 w/ @RikardJozwiak @AmandaPaulEPC m.youtube.com/watch?v=IPg57g… #Armenia #Elections2026

Armenia has made its choice. After years of relying on Russia, the country appears to be looking west. But is the West ready to embrace this new Armenia? Can the EU and the United States offer a viable alternative? And will the economic cost of distancing itself from Russia prove too high? The regional picture matters too. Will Azerbaijan and Turkey support Armenia’s westward shift, or stand in its way? That’s the focus of today’s episode of Wider View from Brussels, where host Marcin Zaborowski [@MaZaborowski] speaks with Rikard Jozwiak [@RikardJozwiak], Europe Editor at Radio Free Europe, and Amanda Paul [@amandajanepaul], Senior Policy Analyst at European Policy Centre.

"Armenia just wants to have more options, wants to diversify. But it does not want to break away from a close relationship with Russia," said Marcin Zaborowski, TVP World Europe Editor [@MaZaborowski], highlighting that Yerevan is looking to expand its foreign partnerships while maintaining close ties with Moscow.

“It’s a very powerful weapon [Oreshnik], but it looks like Russia does not fully control where it’s going,” said Marcin Zaborowski [@MaZaborowski] TVP World’s Europe Editor, warning that a strike meant to signal strength instead misfired into Russian-held territory, raising questions about Moscow's operational control.

“Romania is like a second hub for the delivery of aid to Ukraine,” said Marcin Zaborowski [@MaZaborowski], TVP World’s Europe Editor, highlighting that Romania is a key logistics asset for Ukraine, similarly to Poland, thanks to its border and ports, so political instability there could disrupt aid flows and indirectly benefit Russia.

“Five thousand troops is not a small number,” said Martin Sklenár [@SklenarMartin], Former Slovakian Defense Minister, pointing out that it roughly matches the size of a German brigade in Lithuania and could significantly reinforce NATO’s eastern flank if redeployed through rotations or exercises, as the U.S. scales back its military presence in Europe and pressure grows on allies to strengthen their own defenses.

U.S. troops are pulling back from Europe. What does it mean for NATO’s eastern flank?

Nawet w tskiej sprawie kłamie

Welcome to your Polish home, my friend, that’s how Prime Minister Donald Tusk [@donaldtusk] has heralded the long-awaited release of Polish-Belarusian journalist Andrzej Poczobut after five years in jail. The day of freedom for Poland’s highest-profile political prisoner in Belarus, a country run by Kremlin ally Alexander Lukashenko follows years of negotiations and dramatic twists. @kazimierzlysiak

There are reports of @poczobut being freed by the Lukashenka regime. If confirmed this is great news!

Today, during our meeting with Prime Minister Donald Tusk, I thanked the Polish people for their consistent support of Ukraine. It is symbolic that the meeting took place in Rzeszów – a city that has welcomed thousands of Ukrainians since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and was granted the honorary title of “Rescuer City” by the President of Ukraine. Ukrainian-Polish cooperation has a broad and active agenda. We focused primarily on defense, energy, bilateral trade, and the development of border and logistics infrastructure. In the near future, we expect the signing of an agreement on joint control at shared border crossing points and the resolution of technical issues related to the registration of Ukrainian carriers in the SENT/RMPD system. We are strengthening cooperation between our two major energy firms Naftogaz and ORLEN. I thanked the Prime Minister for his personal contribution to unlocking the 20th sanctions package and the €90 billion EU loan. It is important for us that the first tranche arrives as soon as possible to support our defense capabilities and budgetary needs. We also expect the swift opening of negotiations on all clusters in the context of Ukraine’s EU accession. I am grateful to Poland for preparing this year’s Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk. For my part, I invited Mr. Prime Minister to take part in the Fourth International Summit of Cities and Regions of Ukraine, which will be held in Kyiv in May ahead of URC 2026.
