Watch Poland Debunk Putin’s Propaganda With This Powerful UN Speech

These four minutes from Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski are worth your time.

Things got heated at the United Nations on Saturday during a meeting of the Security Council marking the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski rebuked a Russian ambassador for lying about the state of the war, Ukraine’s leadership, and the threat Russia poses to the region.

In a powerful four-minute speech, Sikorski offered a “useful” correction of the record. “Ambassador [Vasily] Nebenzya has called Kyiv the clients of the West,” Sikorski said. “Actually, Kyiv is fighting to be independent of anybody. He calls them a criminal Kyiv regime. In fact, Ukraine has a democratically elected government. He calls them Nazis. Well, the president is Jewish. The defense minister is Muslim, and they have no political prisoners. He said that Ukraine was wallowing in corruption. Well, Aleksei Navalny documented how honest and full of probity his own country is.”
