He made the statement after talks with his Latvian counterpart Krišjānis Kariņš.
The two ministers restated a strategic partnership, with their countries aligned closely in their response to the ongoing Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
During a joint press conference with Kariņš, Sikorski said that Poland and Latvia share a model relationship, both increasing their defense spending and providing military aid to Ukraine.
"We speak with one voice on these matters to our allies and on the international stage," Sikorski stated, emphasizing the strategic alignment between the two nations.
Poland and Latvia have been at the forefront of assisting Ukraine, in terms of both military aid and assistance for the country's future reconstruction.
Poland has announced it will double its contribution to a Czech-led ammunition initiative for Ukraine, reflecting the country's commitment to supporting Kyiv's defense efforts against the Russian invasion.
Sikorski also mentioned the expected redirection to Ukraine of profits from Russian assets frozen in the EU, with the aim of supplying equipment and ammunition to the war-torn country.
Sikorski pointed out the European Union's defense budget for 2024, highlighting the allocation of EUR 5 billion for ammunition purchases.
The urgency of American support for Ukraine was also a major point of Sikorski's remarks.
He stressed the need for the US Congress to act, indicating the issue's critical importance for the credibility of the United States as an ally, the PAP news agency reported.
The US Congress has been stymied in its legislative action by the delaying tactics of Speaker Mike Johnson and the broader far right of the Republican Party.
Sikorski also expressed concern over the West's reaction to the unprecedented Russian air terror campaign against Ukraine, emphasizing solidarity with the Ukrainian people and the right to defend NATO territory.
A recent incident involving a Russian missile in Polish airspace was mentioned as a reminder of the direct threats faced by countries near the war zone.
Looking ahead to the NATO summit scheduled for July in Washington, Sikorski affirmed Poland's commitment to securing the eastern flank of the alliance and highlighted ongoing efforts to synchronize the Baltic states' power grids with the rest of Europe.
These initiatives demonstrate a broader commitment to regional security and economic cooperation against hybrid threats emanating from Russia and Belarus.
Kariņš echoed Sikorski's sentiments on the excellent state of bilateral relations and the shared understanding of the geopolitical context.
He restated the commitment to continuing support for Ukraine, linking the country's victory to the security of Europe and the broader international community.
"The security of not only both our countries but also of Europe and the entire world depends on Ukraine's victory over Russia, and decisions need to be made now," he said.
Kariņš also said that frozen Russian funds should be used not only for the reconstruction of Ukraine, but also for its armament.
"Currently, in the EU, we are moving towards using the profits from frozen assets," he told reporters.
"This is several billion euros, these funds can be used to help Ukraine," he said, and added: "In my opinion, we need to look at this more broadly - not just at the profits from assets, but also at the assets themselves and government assets that are in various European banks. This amounts to hundreds of billions."
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, starting the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II.
Wednesday is day 763 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
