In his statement Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau stressed that "Russia is the main anti-hero in the OSCE, and the implications of its aggression against Ukraine go beyond European security, undermining the global order." In this context, he pointed to Russia's violation of the territorial integrity of Moldova and Georgia. - Also Belarus reproduces aggressive attitudes toward its neighbors using hybrid tools, such as illegal migration and aggressive rhetoric - he stressed.

Mr Rau also criticized Russia's destructive actions in the area of arms control, including its recent decision to terminate the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. He noted that the OSCE must not surrender its principles at any cost and Russia must not feel that the use of force against other countries can serve to achieve political goals.

The opening session of the conference featured speeches by OSCE Chairman-in-Office Bujar Osmani, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and OSCE Secretary General Helga Schmid.
