💡 #Poland 🇵🇱 Foreign Minister Sikorski demolishing Russian #propaganda at the #UN yesterday.

🎤 Debunking every wild claim made by Russian Ambassador Nebenzia

☝️ It helps to know history. It gives us a sense of dignity and confidence amidst the propaganda of war. Sikorski demonstrates this:

👉 Ambassador Nebenzya has called Kyiv “The clients of the West”, actually Kyiv is fighting to be independent of anybody.
👉 He calls them a criminal Kiev regime, in fact Ukraine has a democratically elected government.
👉 He calls them 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐬. Well the president is Jewish, the defense minister is 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐦 and and they have no political prisoners.
👉 He said that #Ukraine was wallowing in corruption, well Alexei Navalny documented how “honest and full of propriety” his own country is.
👉 He blamed the war on us, on neocolonialism, in fact it is Russia that tried to exterminate Ukraine in the 19th century, again under the Bolsheviks and it’s the third attempt.
👉 He said that we are prisoners of 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐚. Phobia means irrational fear, yet we are being threatened almost every day, by Russia with nuclear annihilation. I put to you that it’s not irrational, when Russia threaten threatens us, we trust it.
👉 He said that we are denying Russia’s #security interests. Not true we’ve only started rearming ourselves when Russia started invading her neighbors.
👉 He even said that Poland attacked Russia during World War II. What is he talking about? It is the Soviet Union that attacked Poland TOGETHER with 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐢 Germany on the 17th of September 1939, they even held a joint Victory Parade on the 22nd of September.
👉 He says that Russia has always only beaten back aggression. What were Russian troops doing at the gates of Warsaw in August 1920. They were on a topographical Excursion? No the truth is, that for every time that Russia has been invaded, she has invaded 10 times.
👉 He says that this is a proxy war by the West. My advice is don’t fall into the Western trap, withdraw your troops to the international border and avoid this ‘Western plot’
👉 He also says that there was an illegal coup in Ukraine in Kyiv in 2014. Well I was there. There was no coup. President Yanukovych 𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 a hundred of his compatriots and he was removed from office by a democratically elected Ukrainian Parliament, INCLUDING his own party, the party of regions.
👉 And finally he is saying, that we, the West are somehow trying to be persuaded that Russia can never be beaten. Well Russia didn’t win the Crimean War.
It didn’t win the Russo Japanese war.
It didn’t win World War 1.
It didn’t win the Battle of Warsaw.
It didn’t win in Afghanistan
and it didn’t win the Cold War,

The Ambassador reminded us why we resisted Soviet domination and what Ukraine is resisting now.

They failed to subjugate us then, they’ll fail to subjugate Ukraine and us now.
