Poland outmaneuvered Russia at the UN. Moscow is losing the seat it has held for 60 years

There has been a crucial shake-up within the United Nations. For the first time in six decades, the seat allocated to east Europe on the JIU will not go to a typical from Russia. Instead, a Polish national—Jakub Chmielewski—will become the inspector. The Ministry of abroad Affairs calls this a success for Polish diplomacy, and it has good reason to do so.
