‼️ 80 years ago, WWII ended in Europe. For many, it meant freedom. For millions, it also marked the start of another occupation. The USSR — now Russia — took control over liberated nations and plundered them for its own gain.

The UN Fifth Committee resumed its session today to discuss the financing of the 🇺🇳 peacekeeping operations.

Last #5C session for me, but only another session for Poland 🇵🇱 to support the #BlueHelmets.

To the point. 🇵🇱🇺🇦
Ukraine is not, as the Russian ambassador said, a "project."
Its statehood is older than Muscovy’s.
It has been a member of the US longer than Russia.
It has a language, an identity and its own aspirations.

💬 If Ukraine is abandoned today, who will be next tomorrow? Another country in Eastern Europe? Why not a Middle-Eastern or African state, targeted to serve as a Russian military base.

Today marks three years since Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified attack on Ukraine.

On the anniversary of this illicit aggression, we express our solidarity with the entire 🇺🇦 nation.

It was a really uplifting event today at the 🇺🇳 - a celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science #IDWGS, organized by the 🇵🇱 Permanent Mission of Poland to the UN in partnership with NGOs. Seeing those successful women who literally fly higher than anyone else brings some hope.

W 80 rocznicę wyzwolenia Auschwitz cały świat powinien jeszcze raz usłyszeć te słowa: NIGDY WIĘCEJ! Zło, przemoc i pogarda nie mogą ponownie zatryumfować. Nie możemy zapomnieć tamtej tragicznej lekcji. Za żadną cenę!

7 years, 4 months & 15 days later first Polish men were incarcerated in Auschwitz, a new concentration camp established in the occupied part of Polish territory annexed to Germany after the beginning of World War Two.
