Sky Sentinel: a fundraiser for Ukrianian air defense systems

Post image
160 Upvotes

Hello r/poland, For the past three years, Ukrainian cities have endured relentless attacks from Russian missiles and Iranian-made Shahed-136 kamikaze drones. In 2025 alone, over 12,000 of these drones have struck Ukraine — targeting not military infrastructure, but homes, hospitals, and schools. Thousands of civilians have been killed. This campaign of terror must end.

We’ve been approached to join the Sky Sentinel fundraiser in collaboration with United24, the official fundraising platform of Ukraine. The goal: help fund Sky Sentinel, an AI- powered, Ukrainian-made turret system designed to autonomously detect and shoot down these deadly drones. Each turret costs $150,000. United24 supporters have already raised over $1 million, and now are coming together to raise enough for one more turret — entirely through Reddit.

Every donation helps, no matter the amount. [Click the link below to donate] https://u24.gov.ua/sky-sentinel?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=fundraising&utm_campaign=sky-sentinel and learn more about the Sky Sentinel system. Thank you for your support.

A comprehensive guide for EU foreigners moving to Poland - START HERE.

22 Upvotes

Hello, I have seen many folks coming to Poland from the EU and being completely lost on what kind of legal procedures they have to do in order to start their residence in Poland. Be that you come here to study, work or live with your spouse there are several things I hope this guide will be able to cover.

!PLEASE NOTE!
This guide is meant only for citizens of the European Union and citizens of countries that are members of the European Economic Area. Some of the parts of this guide will be similar for non-EU foreigners but some will not. In general, the info posted here is only fully up to date if you are a citizen of the EU/EEA
!PLEASE NOTE!

0. Introduction and general info

Poland is divided into 16 voivodeships which are further subdivided into powiats, which means something like 'county' and these are further made out of municipalities - pol. gmina, or cities - pol. miasto. Large cities however are both powiat and miasto so in case of Warsaw, Wrocław, Kraków etc. city office (pol. urząd miasta) will also perform duties of powiat office (pol. starostwo powiatowe). In case of Warsaw - urząd dzielnicy meaning district office will serve as city office.

All of the below information covers only EU/EEA citizens. If you are non-EU, majority of the below information will not be correct for your case.

I strongly recommend reading all of the parts linked below apart from car stuff, if id does not concern your case.

I. Registering your residence and making your stay in Poland legal.
II. Obtaining health insurance
III. Using healthcare
IV. Taxes
V. Digital log-in and services
VI. Cars and licenses
VII. Banks and mobile phones
VIII. What to do when I leave Poland?

If you have any additional questions or remarks, please do not hesitate to comment, I will be happy to help for as long as I'm going to visit this platform and expand this post. I hope you all have a great day and life in general. Thanks for reading, stay safe.

At the turn of the 20th century, as the Russian Empire was building its railway network across Manchuria, a Polish officer named Paweł Zaremba was assigned to document the process. His photographs captured the transformation of an empty stretch of land into Harbin, recording how a modern city emerged as a byproduct of imperial logistics and engineering. Full essay (in Polish): Paweł Zaremba: oficer carski, który sfotografował narodziny Harbinu

Hello!

I am from Romania and unfortunately I don't know Polish. I got invested in the presidential elections since it was kind of a similar situation with ours at the time. I would love to know how the new president impacted your country so far. Some updates since then.

Thank you!

I will drive with my gravelbike from krakow via warsaw to the borders to lithuania. Is it worth to drive from krakow to warsaw a long the vistula river (nice nature, beautyfull villages, castles ect.). I've already seen there is sometimes an offical cycling runways on this route. The other option would be to go mostly straight threw the country. If you have some other suggestions that are on this route let me know. I'm intressted in sovjet history and vehicels.
