UN General Assembly
2025

We opened up our homes. We provided material, financial, and military assistance, as well as diplomatic one. Today, ladies and gentlemen, one million Ukrainian refugees live in Poland. Ladies and gentlemen, the Russian invasion of Ukraine is not only the most serious conflict in Europe since World War II, but it is also a turning point. The existing international order is crumbling before our eyes. The world has entered a new and dangerous era of rivalry between great powers breaking rules and testing how far one can go before someone says a clear enough stop. The principle of sovereignty, you can ask this question, is increasingly trampled upon, the prohibition of aggression reduced to a dead letter, instead of law, an attempt to use naked and brutal force. We are at a turning point in history, a time when the decisions made today will have consequences for decades to come. And all of us need to be aware of this. And all of us are taking responsibility for this.
