European support to the Ukrainian research community (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Not only declarations, not only words, but concrete, concrete help are very important.

Cultural solidarity with Ukraine and a joint emergency response mechanism for cultural recovery in Europe (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Words are very important, declarations are very important. Such verbal support is very important, but it seems that specifics are the most important. I would like to say a few words about such specifics. Since the first days of the war in Ukraine, the Polish side, my country, has been involved in assistance, which in the field of culture takes form…

Lukashenka regime's active role in the war against Ukraine (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. I hope these translation problems are not a hybrid attack by Lukashenka. And quite seriously, it is no secret to anyone in this House that Lukashenko today, next to such figures as Kadyrov, is such a kind of pushing Putin, very useful. And we witnessed that when the hybrid attack that we were talking about started, on Poland and Lithuania, how very naively, also in this…

EU-Western Balkans relations in light of the new enlargement package (continuation of debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, It has been mentioned many times here that either the European Union will open the door to the citizens of the Western Balkan countries, or countries such as Russia, China and even Saudi Arabia or Iran will have more and more influence in these countries. It is therefore in the interest of the European Union as a whole to maintain a high degree of …

The urgent need for an EU strategy on fertilisers to ensure food security in Europe (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. For many years, Russia has been using its raw materials, including natural gas, to wage war against the European Union, against its food security and against European industry. In the total production cost of nitrogen fertilizers, 90% is the cost of natural gas. By tolerating the entry of Russian nitrogen fertilisers into the Union, the European Commission is act…

Countering the anti-European and anti-Ukrainian propaganda of Putin’s European cronies (topical debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Since 2014, Russia has spent more than $300 million to influence politicians and power in more than 20 countries. I would like to draw your attention to one of these countries and an appalling example of drawing from the Kremlin's cash register. I am referring to the German authorities of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which launched the Foundation for Climate an…

Madam President, I'm sorry. Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, the Horn of Africa – shipping routes of fundamental strategic importance intersect in the region today. Today, about 12% of the world's maritime cargo flows through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The fact that more than six million barrels of oil are transported through these sea routes every year means that today Russia and …

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Russian foreign policy is becoming increasingly assertive in regions that the Kremlin largely neglected in the years after the Cold War. I am thinking here, first of all, of the Middle East, Africa, North-East Asia or Latin America. But Europe is a completely different story. It has always been too important for the Kremlin to ignore.

This is, it seems, a matter of course, but before you try to criticize Poland, this is some data. Today, Poland is at the forefront of Europe in terms of forest area. Currently,…
