Summary/Abstract: The Czech presidency of the EU Council, which began on 1 July, is to be dominated by actions aimed at helping Ukraine, gaining trade and energy independence from Russia, strengthening the security and economic resilience of the Union, and protecting democratic values. These goals are in line with the policy priorities of Prime Minister Petr Fiala’s government, which will likely work earnestly towards their implementation. This is a favourable circumstance for Poland, as these assumptions generally coincide with its objectives, in particular with regard to Ukraine, security, and energy.
