Madam President,

Thank you for convening this urgent meeting. We align ourselves with the statement just delivered by the European Union. Two weeks ago, in this chamber, the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, Radosław Sikorski, warned against deliberate escalation, planned in Moscow and carried out primarily in Ukraine.

Unfortunately, Russia follows a pattern of violence. As we have heard in accounts of our briefers today, and the distinguished representative of Ukraine, Russians keep murdering people whom they claim to be liberating.

They continue to destroy infrastructure essential to civilian life, attempting to undermine Ukraine’s remarkable resilience and deprive its population of basic services. Russia’s goal is to subjugate and dominate a nation it claims to regard as brotherly.

With assaults on Ukrainian Black Sea ports and merchant vessels, followed by strikes on or near land border crossing points with Poland, Romania and Moldova, Russia is trying to cut Ukraine off from the rest of the world, halt its foreign trade, including grain exports, restrict the movement of people, and disrupt supplies of humanitarian aid and defence equipment. All these actions may result in an even serious humanitarian crisis – and perhaps this is exactly Russia’s goal.

While Russian soldiers are stuck in a war now in its fifth year, with no victory in sight, and die by the thousands every week, violence against those, who cannot defend themselves, continues to mount.

Poland condemns Russia’s aggression and attacks against civilians in Ukraine. It is the role of the international community to condemn and call out Russia’s blatant violations of the UN Charter, international law and basic humanity. But it is not enough.

First, we should not let Russia achieve its neo-colonial goals but rather provide Ukraine with the necessary aid and support its inherent right to self-defence under Article 51 of the Charter.

Second, Russia must face sustained economic and diplomatic pressure until it ends its aggression.

Third, those responsible for violations of international humanitarian law and other crimes committed during this war must be held accountable.

Madam President,

Poland will continue to stand firmly with Ukraine and its people, supporting Ukraine’s ability to defend its population. Russia cannot bomb its way to a legitimate peace, nor can it secure its future by destroying Ukraine’s.

In today's debate, Madam President, 14 members of this Council called in different words for end of war. One member, Russia, in response, claimed it will continue trying to achieve its goals with military means. Russia, unfortunately, can still if it chooses to, kill many more innocent people. But itcannot win.

Thank you.
