No human rights defender should face intimidation for engaging with @OSCE. ODIHR regrets comments targeting Georgian civil society representatives for their participation at the 2026 Warsaw Human Dimension Conference. HRDs must be able to speak freely without fear of retaliation.

On Oct 7, while the Kremlin celebrates Putin’s birthday, we remember Anna Politkovskaya, murdered 20 years ago. Even though it's time-barred under Russian law, we remember that the real masterminds never faced justice. We wish the Russian people a future free from tyranny, where truth is respected. We call for an end to the persecution of independent media and send our full support to all those who face oppression just for doing their job.

💬 “A just and lasting peace in Europe requires Russia to abandon its neo-imperial policies. To end its aggression against Ukraine. And to stop aggressive and destabilising actions in the region.” | Deputy PM, FM @sikorskiradek during his remarks at the Warsaw Human Dimension Conference

💬 “There can be no durable peace between nations if crimes are denied. If victims are silenced. And if perpetrators escape accountability.” | Deputy PM, FM @sikorskiradek during his remarks at the Warsaw Human Dimension Conference

💬 “The Helsinki Final Act went much further, making respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms a cornerstone of European security.” | Deputy PM, FM @sikorskiradek during his remarks at the Warsaw Human Dimension Conference

💬 Today, the rules-based international order is under strain and democratic backsliding is a worrying reality across many parts of the OSCE region. Against this backdrop, robust accountability is essential – to expose violations, uphold human rights and protect democratic standards. We must reaffirm a fundamental truth: human rights are non-negotiable. | Deputy PM, FM @sikorskiradek during his remarks at the Warsaw Human Dimension Conference

📍 Warsaw Deputy PM, FM @sikorskiradek took part in the opening session of the 2026 Warsaw Human Dimension Conference. In his remarks, he reaffirmed Poland’s commitment to advancing human rights and democracy and stressed the importance of accountability for war crimes and human rights violations.

📍 Warsaw Deputy PM, FM @sikorskiradek met with OSCE Secretary General @OSCESecGen Feridun H. Sinirlioğlu on the sidelines of the Human Dimension Conference. The discussion focused on: 🔹 Poland’s role in supporting ODIHR, particularly in light of Russia’s actions and ongoing discussions on the OSCE budget, 🔹 the OSCE’s engagement in Ukraine and continued support for the country in the face of Russia’s aggression.

Russia's further threats and calls to diplomats to leave Kyiv show that the Kremlin is trying to bully Europe and undermine our support for Ukraine. However, such measures, contrary to the principles of the international law, will not have the desired effect. Russia will neither wear Ukraine down nor shake European solidarity with the Ukrainian people. Poland unwaveringly supports Ukraine, its right to self-determination and territorial integrity. We will continue to respond firmly to Russia’s irresponsible and dangerous actions and to increase pressure on the Kremlin together with our allies. We do not intend to change the operations of the Polish Embassy in Kyiv.

Poland stands in full solidarity with Estonia 🇪🇪 following the revelation of details regarding Russian sabotage on its territory. The attack on the Milrem Robotics facilities was not an isolated incident, but part of coordinated actions by Moscow aimed at undermining our collective security and weakening our support for Ukraine. We will not be intimidated. We will respond jointly, further strengthening our defence and resilience within NATO. Standing together with @MFAestonia! #StrongerTogether
