In my speech today at the @OSCE I asked a simple question:
Is the Helsinki Final Act a meaningful agreement on important shared principles, or just a list of guidelines that can be ignored without consequences?

The principles agreed by the @OSCE have undoubtedly been violated many times by Russia in the most brutal and horrific ways possible. So we face a simple choice: Either we stand by our principles, or we don't.

If an @OSCE member state constantly abuses the consensus rule, let’s build the political will to figure out a better way. We cannot sit idle while the aggressor exploits weaknesses and threatens the entire security framework.

It's time for a conference of countries concerned about Russia’s aggression, Ukraine’s suffering and the future of the rules-based system. Together we can rethink the European security architecture and agree to make it reliable, effective and viable.
