Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski @RadoslawSikorski spoke at the UN Security Council on Ukraine yesterday.
He devoted his speech to challenging claims made at the forum by Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzia that his country is the victim of aggressive Western policies.
Say - isn’t this Sirkoski the dude that congratulated the United States for blowing up NordStream?
You’re a gray sprinkle on a rainbow cupcake. ‘Mo. LOL!!
I would say thank you RUSSIA! and the Kremlinists for blowing up the pipeline!
It was perfectly synchronized with Russia’s policy to “FREEZE” Europe in the winter... remember??
They were the ones who tried to freeze Europe, by any means possible. But it all miserably failed. :)
Putin threatens to ‘freeze’ west by cutting oil and gas supplies if EU imposes price cap – as it happened

Russia is holding Europe hostage by threatening to ‘freeze’ its energy supplies. Germany just made a big move to regain control

BUT !!!
Now we liberated ourselves from Russia’s oil, forever!
Bravo Europe and thank you TRUMP who always pushed Europe to dissociate itself from Russian oil!
Putin dealt crushing blow as energy grip over Europe gone for good

Yes.
Europe is buying Russian oil through India, now.
We won't even talk about the Druzhba pipeline. 
The United States is now the biggest supplier of crude oil to the European Union. In December, 18% of the bloc’s crude imports came from America, EU data office Eurostat said Tuesday. That is a big turnaround.
This is a WIN-WIN situation.
US has replaced Russia as Europe’s top crude oil supplier

You’re hilarious.
You have broken the rules of "the public will forget" by recalling this:
Former foreign minister and now EU lawmaker Radosław Sikorski has caused controversy after posting a tweet many perceived accused the US of sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline.And for those who want their news in Polish -- "Radosław Sikorski o wyciekach w Nord Stream: „Thank you, USA”. Burza w sieci. Wpis komentują m. in. „Forbes”, „Newsweek”, „Spectator”Sikorski was foreign minister from 2007 to 2014 and, as an MEP, is now part the EPP group in the European Parliament.
The controversial tweet includes a photo of gas coming out of the damaged Nord Stream pipeline, accompanied by the words “Thank You, USA”.
Former minister’s Nord Stream sabotage tweet causes uproar in Poland Euractiv, Sep 30, 2022
And a second source:
Radosław Sikorski thanked the United States for blowing up Nord Stream. Storm on the Web
The former foreign minister is also reported by the world media. Forbes magazine on its website mentions that Sikorski is not a “Purgistnet of Putin” and that after his May debate with American political scientist John Mearsheimer, the president of the Russian Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin said that Sikorski is calling for a “nuclear war in the middle of Europe” and that “not to care for the future of Poland and Ukraine”.
On his Twitter page, Forbes described the article with the words: “The United States blew up the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, says the former Polish defense minister.”
So, if he is today "challenging claims" with which he does not agree, should we then accept his explanation of the Nordstream bombings? Sikorski is calling for a “nuclear war in the middle of Europe” ....
Sounds quite Speedy....
“Never surrender to Little Pukin!”
Russia is no victim, Russia is the attacker
I sincerely pray that America did blow up the pipeline.
It would have been a win in the long run for America’s policy of fighting off the Russian Neo-Soviet attempts to enslave Europe with blackmail-oil.
But unfortunately I don’t think Biden had the guts to order such a strike on the pipeline. It’s not his style and I don’t want to give him a win on that either.
Lets not forget that RUSSIA was the one starting to cut its oil distribution to Europe. You know that right?
Then Russia made a bet... to go a bit further... : freezing Europe during winter!
Thus, to enforce that policy it was a logical move for Russia to blow up the pipeline.
For once I agreed with Russia on that!
However, Putin’s plan to freeze europe during winter, utterly failed. Instead we are now free from Russian influence and future blackmails once and for good!
Trump mocked Germany for being slaves to Russia by accepting that

TRUMP was the one who started the crusade to free Europe from Russian influence. It seems like he succeeded, big time. That why I’m pro Trump. No one has been tougher on Russia than Trump. And.. that’s WHY Putin recently supported Biden for president!! You want the video of that too?
For those with SEVERE and incurable short memories, here is a link explaining Russia’s policies to cut off the oil to Europe.
Russia has cut off gas supplies to Europe indefinitely. Here’s what you need to know

The Ukies started shelling the ethnic Russian provinces way back in 2014. Thank goodness Vlad finally took Avidivka, it was the main Ukie city that kept up the shelling of Donetsk for 8-9 years.
Much celebrating occurring in Donetsk….but he still has more work to do in wiping the Ukie Nazi Azovs….no Johnny, the Ukie Neo- Nazis are still in control…they WILL be destroyed.
Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine rises Reuter, 1 February 2023"Severe and incurable short memories" are indeed in evidence. The last article and quote above it is from ten days ago.Why Russian oil and gas is still flowing through Ukrain The Economist, 20 May 2023
Despite war, Ukraine and Russia are still connected by pipelines WaPo, 24 May 2023
" 'We have no interest to prolong the trilateral gas transit agreement with Russia, which will expire by the end of this year,' Simson told an EU Parliament committee meeting. 'Based on our preliminary analytics, there are alternative solutions to supply these countries who still receive some gas through the Ukrainian route,' she said. Europe is attempting to rid itself of Russian gas imports, after Russia slashed gas deliveries to Europe since its Feb. 2022 invasion of Ukraine."
EU sees no need to extend deal on Russian gas transit via Ukraine Reuters, 15 February 2024
Well Hungary, Slovakia, and Austria continue to import Russian oil too right?
Thats their problem, and it shows...
They are black mailed (Hungary especially) to a humiliating degree by Russia... which give them gas.. as longs as Orban obeys...
No wonder Orban is so soft and cuddly with Russia... 95% of Hungary energy imports come from Russia... He is a slave.
The rest of Europe can these days entirely survive with alternative means to Russian energy, even though it’s still dripping in a bit. No one cares about Russian energy for Europes future anymore.
Your first assertion (citing CNBC ineptly) was proven incorrect by several simple news citations. The above is also incorrect:
