Sikorski at the UN Security Council compared Putin's regime to Nazi Germany.
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski refuted a number of false statements made by Russia's Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzya, who claimed that Western politicians receive instructions from Brussels.
"This is a lie," - he said. - "I assure you, what you are about to hear, I wrote myself".
The minister also reminded that the Russian ambassador claims that the Russian Federation does not bomb civilian objects in Ukraine.
"This is the second lie," - he said, recounting his recent trip to Lviv, where a Russian missile hit a residential building, resulting in the death of children.
Ukrainian children are not only targets for bombs, but thousands of them have been kidnapped and taken to Russia, where they are "brainwashed to be deprived of memories and national identity," Sikorski reported.
He reminded that the UN recognizes these actions as a war crime, and the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin in October 2022.
"How is what you are doing with the kidnapped Ukrainian children different from what the German Nazis did with your and our children?", - the minister asked Nebenzya, stating that "kidnapping children in other countries is tantamount to genocide, as confirmed by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe".
"Do you remember that the diplomats and propagandists of the genocidal regime are also criminals, as Soviet prosecutors stated at Nuremberg?", - added Sikorski.
According to him, permanent members of the UN Security Council should be guardians of peace, not waging war against other people's children. "This is a shame for Russia that will not be forgiven or forgotten," - the Polish Foreign Minister is convinced.
