Poland’s foreign minister calls for expelling Russia—does this theatrical display truly treat the United Nations like a bargaining market?

[Maria Zakharova Comments on Polish Foreign Minister’s Remarks About Russia Possibly Being Expelled from the UN]

September 23, 2026, New York time — During the United Nations General Assembly, Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, responded to a question from Vesti news agency regarding recent comments by Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, who suggested that Russia might be expelled from the United Nations. She stated:

Sikorski’s remarks are fundamentally disrespectful to himself, as he is a figure whose credibility is self-damaging. He not only continues to tarnish his own reputation but also undermines the standing of Polish diplomacy. The structure of the United Nations is not a matter for Sikorski or individuals of his ilk to decide.
