eastern flank of the north atlantic alliance, democratic and resilient, and most importantly, inoculated against manipulation and propaganda. we see our membership in the european union and nato as well as strong relations with the united states of america as a guarantee of our independence. that is why we treat the commitments to overall security of the continent and the world so seriously. but solidarity of all partners is required in the face of serious threats. therefore, i strongly urge the u.s. congress to prevent russia from having a leverage against the eu nato members in the form of [inaudible] two, and introduce further sanctions against the russian regime. honorable members of congress, regardless of what happens in politics today, do not lose hope. i remain confident that poland will be back as a strong, crowd and democratic member of the transatlantic community. we, the signatories of the pact of three cities, remain committed to hold the democratic values, protect minorities, fight for tolerance ansparency, and realize the common [inaudible] cause of the western community. you know, whatever the government is not doing, we are doing it. we teach tolerance across the scores. we prioritize women's rights. we suppo
