WARSAW — Poland's foreign minister said the future of the European Union was uncertain and Poland should increase its role to help mend the ailing 27-member bloc.
Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski said in a speech Wednesday that the EU was "still in crisis and its survival was not guaranteed." But he also said that adding new members would widen its area of influence and suggested that if Russia were ready to adopt EU values, that would "bring European horizons to China's and Korea's borders."
Sikorski reiterated Poland's determination to adopt the common currency on the condition it is done at a safe time for the Polish economy. He offered no date.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
