Orlen & Naftogaz collaborate to strengthen Ukraine's energy security
Orlen and Naftogaz have signed an MoU to expand cooperation in upstream and downstream energy projects, boosting Ukraine's energy security. The deal includes increased gas deliveries via Poland, joint extraction efforts, and investment in biofuels and fuel distribution. Signed in Lviv, the agreement marks a new phase in their strategic partnership.
'The agreement we have signed stands as further evidence of our strategy being effectively put into action. ORLEN is becoming a cornerstone of energy security not only for Poland, but for the broader region. After we launched the deliveries of US LNG to our Ukrainian partner, we are now entering a new phase of deeper cooperation. Together, we can achieve more,' said Ireneusz Fafara, CEO and President of the Management Board of ORLEN.
'I believe we can elevate our partnership to an entirely new level. I am grateful to our Polish counterparts – and personally to Mr Fafara – for the constructive dialogue and their genuine support for Ukraine,' said Sergii Koretskyi, CEO of Naftogaz Group.
Under the terms of the MoU, the parties will seek to increase natural gas deliveries via Poland to Ukraine and to advance joint projects in oil and gas extraction. These initiatives are expected to strengthen Ukraine's resource security and flexibility. Naftogaz also stands to benefit from ORLEN's technical expertise in the refurbishment of gas infrastructure damaged during the war. In addition, both companies intend to pursue joint investment projects across fuel distribution and development of the biofuels segment.
The Lviv memorandum marks the second cooperation agreement between ORLEN and Naftogaz. Under the initial agreement, ORLEN concluded three contracts to supply a total of 300 million cubic metres of LNG to Ukraine.
The ORLEN Group currently supplies Ukrainian customers with refined petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel oil and bitumen, while delivering dedicated services to upstream sector operators.
Naftogaz Group is Ukraine's largest state-owned oil and gas enterprise, operating across the entire value chain – from exploration and production to transport, storage, and sales of gas and crude oil. The company plays a critical role in ensuring the nation's energy security and ranks among its largest taxpayers. Despite the ongoing military conflict, Naftogaz continues to expand its resource output and remains firmly committed to reducing Ukraine's reliance on imported gas through maximised domestic production.

White House joins TikTok with Trump promo, and the backlash from young users is already brutal
The White House made headlines by launching its official TikTok account, @whitehouse, signaling a notable movement into the fast-growing and popular social media platform. This initiative comes amid ongoing uncertainty in TikTok's future in the United States, as the Chinese owned company ByteDance faces growing pressure to sell its American operations or a possible nationwide ban. Posts on White House TikTok Account The account's initial post featured President Donald Trump addressing TikTok users with a short message signifying direct engagement. The video, which opened with Trump stating himself as the voice of American people, aimed to create a personal connection with the younger audience that dominates the platform. "America we are BACK! What's up TikTok?" is the description. The second video is the images of White House. The third video combines the moments of Trump that have drawn public criticism and mockery. It includes clips from press events showing tense interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Maine Governor Janet Mills. Other segments emphasize his comments about Senator Elizabeth Warren and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, as well as his statement during Elon Musk's Tesla promotion on the White House lawn that 'everything's computer' in a Tesla Model S Plaid. The video's description also has a June 2025 quote from Trump in which he quotes reporters, 'I was the hunted, and now I'm the hunter.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 32 Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Within hours, the account had earned tens of thousands of followers, showing strong primary interest and curiosity about how the White House would use TikTok to communicate policy and political messaging. White House authorities conveys that the launch rolled out as a broader strategy to enhance digital platforms for public engagement. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt cited that, "historic successes President Trump has delivered to the American people.". By interacting directly with citizens on social media, the administration concentrated on modernizing government communications and presenting information in a format that resonates with younger audiences. Live Events Public Response One of the top, most liked comments on the first video came from @jjackson5150, who wrote, 'I thought TikTok was a national security threat? At least that's what Trump claimed in his August 6, 2020 executive order to ban it. Now they have an official White House account. This just proves it was never about security. They just want to control it." Another popular remark by @amanda.c.e praised California Governor Gavin Newsom, stating, 'Gavin Newsom is the strongest governor in America. He's the greatest and no one is better than him. In the third video, @ commented,"Trump is about to learn very quickly that tiktok hates him". Beyond debates over the TikTok ban and sharing political memes, many comments on the White House's TikTok videos have called for the Trump administration to reveal information about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. On his own platform, Truth Social, Trump received a widespread backlash from users, being intensely ratioed despite the site's predominantly pro-Trump audience. In this context, it's unsurprising that reactions to the White House's TikTok account have been even more critical. Regulatory Concerns and Legal Context The launch comes amid ongoing controversy. TikTok has been under heavy scrutiny in the U.S. over data privacy concerns and its ties to the Chinese government. A 2024 law mandated ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations by January 19, 2025, or face a ban. President Trump extended the deadline several times, with the latest extension set to expire on September 17, 2025. Critics contend that the administration's promotion of TikTok while negotiations over its legal and operational status remains raises questions about administrative priorities and national security.

The White House TikTok account, @whitehouse, is the official social media account of the U.S. government on TikTok, created to share updates, messages, and engage with the public, especially younger audiences.
