Nothing new to report.

Be very careful with google translator. It is sometimes very inaccurate. Last sentence from your quote should be.

Our eastern neighbors did not want to give the report of the study to the Poles.

not

Our eastern neighbors did not want the Poles to give the report of the study.

Although one can still correctly interpret (I think) the sentence from the context, the other cases are much worse. My favorite (from MAK report):

Самолет перед вылетом был полностью исправен.

was translated as (try it yourself)

The plane before the flight was completely defective.

the correct translation

The plane before flight was fully serviceable.
