Yesterday, we met with our friend, Garrett. He had good news about his situation in Poland. His permit to live in Poland was to expire in December. However, he has been working at home for an international company for the last 6 months, and doing so well, they gave him a promotion to a full-time employee. Along with that, they said they would help him get a permanent residency card. To accomplish that, they asked him to come to their main office in Warsaw.
Last Monday, he did that, and now his application has been filed.
He made a decision that it would be a good time to move to Gdañsk. h will be moving there at the end of this month. He friends there and wanted to be closer to the Baltic Sea. Actually, his new flat will be in one of the three cities that make up Tri-Miasto, Gydnia. His flat has a partial view of the Sea so it is close to it.
We are happy for him and will make a trip next month to visit his new location.
Meanwhile in Ukraine,
WASHINGTON DC – Retired Gen. David Petraeus, who commanded US and coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, said Monday that a ceasefire in Ukraine is unlikely until Western aid allows Kyiv to dramatically shift the battlefield dynamic.
His comments came as President Donald Trump announced a drastically shortened deadline for Russia to agree to a truce. Speaking at a Hudson Institute event in Washington DC, Petraeus, also a former CIA director, emphasized that Ukraine needs substantial assistance to make Russian President Vladimir Putin realize he cannot achieve further gains at an acceptable cost.
“I don’t foresee a ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine until the US, European and other Western countries provide so much assistance to Ukraine that they can change the dynamic on the battlefield,” said Petraeus, now a chairman of the KKR Global Institute.
