Here’s a comprehensive summary of Radosław Sikorski’s speech at the UN General Assembly on February 24, 2025:

Key Themes and Messages:

  1. Return to Basic Principles:
    Sikorski opened by emphasizing the need to revisit fundamental questions of right and wrong, truth and falsehood, especially in turbulent times when history is “catching up” with the world.

  2. Condemnation of Russian Invasion of Ukraine:

    • He recalled the March 2022 UN vote, where 141 nations condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, affirming Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
    • Only five countries, including Russia, Belarus, North Korea, and the now-deposed Syrian regime, voted against the resolution.

  3. Debunking Kremlin Propaganda:

    • Sikorski refuted Russia’s claim that its actions were a justified response to Western imperialism, describing the invasion as a modern-day colonial war aimed at punishing Ukrainians for seeking independence and a better future.

  4. Russia’s War Crimes and Aggression:

    • He highlighted Russia’s war crimes, including the killing of thousands of civilians, bombing of civilian infrastructure, and the abduction of Ukrainian children to erase their national identity.
    • Sikorski warned that Putin seeks to destroy not only Ukraine’s present but also its future.

  5. Criticism of Shifting Opinions in the UN:

    • He expressed concern that some nations are reconsidering their stance, driven by self-interest rather than changed facts.
    • Sikorski warned against normalizing relations with Russia, arguing it would mean entrusting global security to an autocrat and war criminal.

  6. Global Implications of Russian Victory:

    • A Russian victory would not lead to a fairer global order or benefit discontented nations, nor would it result in a more prosperous Russia.
    • Sikorski noted that Russia now has more political prisoners than during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and that its disruptive activities extend beyond Europe, with Wagner mercenaries (renamed “Africa Corps”) exploiting African resources.

  7. Potential Global Destabilization:

    • Sikorski warned that abandoning Ukraine could lead to future Russian aggression in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, with Moscow seeking new military bases.

  8. Ukraine’s Sovereignty and Identity:

    • Responding to the Russian ambassador’s claim that Ukraine is a “project,” Sikorski firmly stated that Ukraine is a nation with its own history, language, and identity—recognized for longer in the UN than the Russian Federation itself.
    • He reminded the assembly that Ukraine’s borders were confirmed by treaties signed by Russia.

  9. Call for Justice-Based Peace:

    • Concluding his speech, Sikorski stressed that the UN’s mission is to decolonize, not recolonize nations.
    • He reiterated Poland’s support for peace, but one that ensures justice for Ukraine, the victim of aggression.

Overall Tone:
Sikorski’s speech was resolute and direct, blending moral clarity with geopolitical warnings. He urged the international community to remain steadfast in supporting Ukraine and not to succumb to appeasement or self-serving pragmatism.
