2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Difficult, most painful historical issues, such as the UPA's crime against Polish civilians, exist and must not be ignored. Without them, we will not go any further. The responsibility for the increase in tension lies on both sides. Both in the actions of President Zelensky, who fueled the nationalist narrative, and in the actions of President Navrocki. The great achiev…

Madam President, Madam Vice-President, colleagues, it is in the interest of Poland, Europe and also the United States itself that American troops remain in Europe and continue to train alongside us. It is also important to note that Poland has for years contributed financially to hosting American soldiers. Dear American Friends, do you really want to send such a signal at a moment when Russia and …

Ensuring accountability and justice in response to Russia’s continued attacks against the civilian population in Ukraine (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Madam Minister, I'm sorry. The entire Ukrainian nation suffers because of Russia's imperial ambitions. It's a trauma that spans generations. They are children growing up in fear, they are war veterans with their physical and mental wounds. It's an economy in deep crisis, negative GDP, ruined cities, ruined dreams. It is good that we have ado…

Human trafficking and grave human rights violations linked to the recruitment of non-Russian nationals, in particular from Africa, for Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine

Mr President, Commissioner, Some time ago, President Zelenskyy heard at the white House the following accusation: 'You are gambling with World War III'. Let us be very clear, the man gambling with global stability is not the leader defending his country, Ukraine. The man responsible for escalating tensions is Vladimir Putin. It was Putin who chose the war. He started it, he fuels it every day, and…

Continuous Belarusian hybrid attacks against Lithuania (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues, today we stand shoulder to shoulder with Lithuania. Poland does not need briefings to understand what is happening – because we are under the same attack. Hybrid warfare, provocations and pressure on our borders are not theories or scenarios, they are facts. At first, Lukashenka claimed he knew nothing about the balloons and the provocations. Now, we see him…
