The Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Chicago, subordinate directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Warsaw, is an official representative of the Polish Government. The Embassy of Poland – the political representative of the Republic of Poland in the United States of America – is located in Washington, D.C. In addition to the Chicago Consulate, the Ministry runs three other Consulates General in the USA, in New York, in Los Angeles and Houston.

Oil prices may have risen because of the Iran conflict, but they will not save Russia's economy. Windfall gains were significantly offset by a stronger currency and subsidy payments to oil companies and refiners.

In the first four months of 2026, Russia's budget deficit reached 5.9 trillion roubles, already far above the 3.8 trillion planned for the whole year. More than 200,000 businesses have closed since January. Interest rates remain high. Corporate debt has nearly doubled since the full-scale invasion. Labour shortages are persistent, taxes are rising, and domestic demand is falling.

EU sanctions, now 20 packages in force, continue to restrict Russia's access to technology, finance, logistics and energy markets, imposing long-term structural costs. Higher oil prices give Russia short-term breathing space. They do not fix the structural damage. The pressure continues.

Russia loves to portray its military as “invincible.” Since 2014, Ukraine has exposed Russia to be more of a paper bear, and in recent months managed to stall its battlefield progress.

Discover three long running myths behind Russia’s “invincible” image:
Myth 1: Russia is an unstoppable military force
Myth 2: Russian firepower is so powerful and terrifying that fighting it is pointless
Myth 3: Ukraine and its allies have already lost the war

“Poland. Mission Confidence” is a story about Poland built on authenticity and the experience of people who, every day, co-create its image around the world. 🇵🇱

🎬 The film was made for the Robert Dobrzycki Foundation and brought together representatives of business, diplomacy, new technologies and media. Yet it is not institutions that matter most here, but the stories and perspectives of people who present a modern, credible face of Poland.

It is a country that attracts through quality of life, safety, culture and dynamic growth. But above all, it is a country of people – their work, values, and everyday actions that together form a coherent image of a Poland that is competent, open, and confident.

🔗 The full film is available on the Robert Dobrzycki Foundation’s YouTube channel ➡️ https://youtu.be/b138V4_R9bI?si=GUbJTBJtbhj7nSqK
