Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in New York 🇵🇱 in 🗽

[Speaker Julie Menin @SpeakerMenin]

Marie Skłodowska-Curie blazed a trail for so many women through her groundbreaking scientific discoveries, from inventing mobile x-rays, to becoming the first woman to win a Nobel Prize — she’s won two, by the way.

And because of her incredible work, she’s had a lot named in her honor — an element on the periodic table; a unit of radioactivity; and as of today, a street on the iconic Manhattan grid.

We're proud to honor her, and the over 200,000 Polish-Americans who call New York City home, by permanently co-naming the intersection of York Avenue and East 66th Street to Marie Skłodowska-Curie Way.

💬 She broke barriers, challenged stereotypes and became a role
model for women everywhere – indeed, for all of us.

In the wake of the tragic events in Kraków, Poland observes a period of national mourning.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims and pay tribute to the police and all emergency services 🙏

Our thoughts are with all those affected 🖤

🔥 In times of danger, Ukrainian communities need people who are ready to act. See how Poland is helping them prepare. 👇

For Svitlana Neilenko, resilience is not an abstract concept. It means being ready to protect lives when a crisis strikes. As the coordinator of the “Firefighters” project, implemented by the Solidarity Fund PL and co-financed by Polish Aid, Svitlana is helping bring Polish experience in civil protection to local communities across Ukraine.

The impact is already visible:
🧑‍🚒 61 volunteer fire brigades established, helping strengthen the safety of around 3.7 million people.
🎓 732 volunteer firefighters trained, while 330 local governments gained knowledge on developing volunteer fire services.
🚒 108 brigades received equipment and support.
Behind every number there are people: firefighters ready to respond and neighbours who may one day depend on them. Ultimately, resilience is about making sure people are ready to protect one another when it matters most.
🇵🇱🤝🇺🇦 Polish Aid. Ukrainian communities. Stronger together.

Newborns need care and protection – even when Russian bombs bring terror and destruction. In Ukraine, doctors and nurses know this very well.

The Polish Medical Mission is helping Ukraine protect its youngest patients and their mothers. Through a project supported by the Polish MFA, 28 hospitals across 16 Ukrainian cities are receiving life-saving medical equipment and specialist training to improve neonatal care in crisis situations.
From Uzhhorod to Kharkiv and Odesa, Polish Aid helps Ukraine strengthen the resilience of the healthcare system. Since 2024, the project has supported around 90,000 patients and medical professionals.

For Oksana, a medical director at a Ukrainian hospital, modern equipment provided by #PolishAid offers a chance to save the lives of the most vulnerable patients: newborns.

Never forget.

[Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇵🇱 @PolandMFA]

A quarter of a century ago, the world changed, but our united resolve against the scourge of terrorism remains strong. Innocent people from many nations, including Poles, suffered at the hands of terrorists.

In the years that followed, Polish soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder with our American allies in the fight against terrorism.

We stand together with the United States as we remember those who fell on 9/11, the first responders, and those who gave their lives to keep us safe.

🇵🇱🇺🇸

[Polish Consulate NYC 🇵🇱 @PLinNewYork]

25 years after 9/11, we remember every life lost, including Polish citizens and Polish-Americans. We honor the courage of first responders with extraordinary selflessness and solidarity. 🇵🇱 The Consul General and Amb. @KSzczerski laid wreaths at the 9/11 Memorial in rememberence.
