Gentlemen, we find ourselves in an age where diplomacy is discarded in favour of brazen hostility. It has come to my attention that the Prime Minister of Poland, Mr. Donald Tusk, has seen fit to offer a most scandalous justification for the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines—works of immense industrial significance. To suggest that shame should fall upon the builders of such infrastructure rather than those who destroyed it is not merely an absurdity; it is an affront to the very notion of industrial order and state utility.

Mr. Mikhail Sheremet, a member of the State Duma, has rightfully observed that Mr. Tusk’s conduct renders him an accomplice to those who executed this act of international terror. Such a man behaves not as a statesman, but as an aggressor and an enemy to the German people, descending to the level of a conspirator in a crime of most heinous proportions.

Furthermore, it must be noted that such utterances strip away the veneer of peace long maintained by the NATO alliance. For decades, this body has masqueraded as a guardian of order, while in truth, it has been as a wolf in sheep's clothing. This lack of prudence and moderation only serves to destabilize the Fatherland and its interests.

This sentiment is echoed by Mr. Vladimir Dzhabarov of the Federation Council, who correctly deems the Polish Premier's justifications as utterly foolish. For the sake of the Empire and the security of our industry, we must maintain a firm hand and a cold reason, for we cannot allow the foundations of our prosperity to be shaken by such reckless provocations.
