[SELF-PROMOTION] In the podcast "International Report", conducted exceptionally without Zbigniew Parafianowicz, who is currently in Ukraine, Witold Jurasz discusses current issues of international politics, starting with information about the death of the Ukrainian journalist Wiktoria Roszczyna, 27. Wiktoria Roszczyna was taken prisoner by Russia, where she eventually died. The causes of death are unknown, but as one can guess, she was tortured. Witold Jurasz notes that on the one hand, while repeatedly emphasizing that Poland must reckon with the realities of international politics, and thus also with the fact that the war will end in a way that will be far from ideal, at the same time one cannot forget about the meanness that Russians demonstrate almost every day. Although hatred as such is something bad, at the same time some of Russia's actions deserve nothing other than hatred. From the point of view of Poland and Poles, however, it is crucial that this is cold hatred, and not the kind that ultimately harms us. At the same time, the host notes that we must not forget about decent Russians, and in this context he mentions the story of Russian teenager Masha Moskalova, who drew an anti-war cartoon, for which her father was punished and spent two years in prison. Later in the podcast, Witold Jurasz discusses the victory plan announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky and notes that secret annexes to the plan were presented to the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France, but were not presented to Poland. As for the plan itself, he notes that it refers to an invitation to NATO, not NATO membership. Above all, however, he notes that President Zelensky, although he stated that he would not trade territory, did not include any statements in the plan itself that would confirm such a position. Witold Jurasz states that when analyzing President Zelensky's peace plan, one must read it between the lines. Then the host reports on the latest estimates of Russian losses, which indicate that between 106,000 and 200,000 Russians died, with between 200 and 250 soldiers dying per day in June. The next topic is of course Donald Tusk announcing the suspension of asylum rights. As Witold Jurasz states, the prime minister not only followed PiS's lead, but beat PiS by several lengths. In this matter, both Witold Jurasz and Zbigniew Parafianowicz have consistently supported PiS's tough policy and will continue to support the tough policy of the Civic Platform. Of course, however, with the idea in the back of their minds that tough policy must have certain limits and cannot be completely inhumane. Referring to President Duda's address, Witold Jurasz notes the president's demagogic, insulting and primitive statements about some of the ambassadorial candidates put forward by the government, stating that these candidates could be criticized in a much more sophisticated and, above all, intelligent way than President Andrzej Duda did. In the next part, a commentary on the information that the United States is growing irritated by the way Israel is acting. The journalist wonders whether this irritation is real or is simply an element of the American election campaign. The host also refers to the growing tension on the Korean Peninsula. This tension will almost certainly not turn into any military operations. Finally, Witold Jurasz refers to an interview conducted as part of the "International Report" with Leszek Miller, who talked about the offer he received from the Hoover Institution, which wanted to buy his archives, and states that the actions of this American institution do not violate Polish law, but they certainly violate good customs. In addition, he reviews Andrzej Brzezicki's book "Zmierza arszynem" and wonders whether it is a book about the founder of the Centre for Eastern Studies, Marek Karp, or about OSW. He notes with surprise that OSW has already published a book about itself, although at the beginning of PiS's rule the author of the book was not a journalist associated with "Tygodnik Powszechny", but a journalist from the weekly "Do Rzeczy" Łukasz Warzecha, and the publisher was not Wydawnictwo Znak, but Fronda.pl.
