1:00Now PlayingPoland's Top Envoy Lands Blow With Russia Takedown at UN
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRadoslaw Sikorski’s tendency to speak his mind often lands him in trouble. But his acerbic put-down of Russia’s revanchism at a #UnitedNations Security Council meeting on Friday has turned Poland’s foreign minister into an overnight sensation and may become a standout moment of the debate around the war in #Ukraine.
Responding to #Russia’s UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzya in New York, Sikorski delivered a four-minute speech aimed at “correcting the record” of the envoy’s remarks, repudiating a series of Kremlin talking points used repeatedly to justify the invasion of Ukraine, now into its third year.
He also waded into the history of Russo-Polish relations, reminding the ambassador of how the Soviet Union banded together with Nazi Germany to attack #Poland in 1939, and cheekily asked whether a failed attempt by Russian troops to take Warsaw in August 1920 was “a topographic excursion.”
