The US State Department and the Polish Foreign Ministry issued a joint statement on the strategic dialogue between the two governments yesterday that asserted that both countries are committed to the strategic defeat of Russia. “By violating the fundamental principles of the rules-based international order, Russia has demonstrated it is not a reliable partner and must be held accountable,” it said. “We remain committed to ensuring Russia’s aggression against Ukraine remains a strategic failure. Belarus, the DPRK, and Iran should cease their support for Russia and the People’s Republic of China should halt its amplification of the Kremlin’s false narratives.”
