On Tuesday, September 24, Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski spoke during the UN Security Council debate. Madam Chairwoman! Ladies and Gentlemen! The Russian ambassador announced that this debate would consist of “platitudinous statements dictated by Brussels” – this is a lie. I assure you that what you are about to hear I wrote myself. The Russian ambassador claims that Russia does not bomb civilian targets – this is another lie. Two weeks ago I visited Lviv, a city in Ukraine, where a Russian Kalibr missile hit a tenement house. In front of a man’s eyes, his wife and three daughters were pulled out of the rubble – all dead. They were all civilians, all lived far from the front line, all were killed. The Russian ambassador spoke about the children’s cemetery in Gaza, which is indeed a tragic situation. Well, Ukrainian children are not only a target for bombs. Thousands of them have been kidnapped and taken deep into Russia, where they are brainwashed to strip them of their memories and national identity. Russia claims that these children are orphans left to fend for themselves in a war zone. And another lie. Many of them have been separated from their parents, either by accident during attacks or deliberately by the invading army. Independent reports have revealed that, quote: “officials are deporting Ukrainian children to Russia or to Russian-occupied territories without their consent, lying to them that their parents do not want them, using them for propaganda purposes, and placing them with Russian families and granting them Russian citizenship.” In special camps, the abducted children are given “patriotic education” and a hotline is set up to connect them with potential “foster families” who are promised money. In addition, Mr. Putin signed a decree introducing an accelerated procedure for granting Russian citizenship to stolen Ukrainian children. These are not accidental war losses. Para planificar, which was created before the war and is now being ruthlessly implemented. UN investigators have recognized these actions as war crimes. In October 2022, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin. Ambassador Nebenzia and Russian propagandists like to call the democratically elected Ukrainian rulers Nazis – as you have just heard. It so happens that in Poland I live three kilometers from Potulice, where a Nazi filtration camp was located during World War II. We know that thousands of children were imprisoned there – from Poland and from the Soviet Union, from the areas of Smolensk and Vitebsk. Up to 800 of them died in the camp, but thousands were transferred to the West to be Germanized there. Children with blond hair and blue eyes – Aryan – were considered racially appropriate. So I have a few questions for the Russian ambassador and his superiors: What is the difference between what you are doing to the kidnapped Ukrainian children and what the German Nazis did to your children and ours? How many Russian officials have adopted stolen Ukrainian children, following the example – as reported by the BBC – of Sergei Mironov, former chairman of the Russian Federation Council? When will you return the remaining thousands of stolen Ukrainian children to Ukraine? Do you know that stealing children from another country is tantamount to genocide, as recently confirmed by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe? Do you remember that diplomats and propagandists of a genocidal regime are also criminals – as Soviet prosecutors argued at Nuremberg, referring to Ribbentrop and Streicher? The permanent members of the UN Security Council are supposed to be guardians of peace, not wage their own wars, using this is someone else’s children. The couple brings shame to Russia, which is neither forgiven nor forgotten. And by the way – since Embajador Nebenzia denies that the Soviets collaborated with the Nazis during the invasion of Poland in 1939, here is a photo from their joint parade. I am sure you recognize the Soviet uniforms. Thank you very much!
