22/04/2026 | 16:24:42 Thank you so much. Dear Commissioner, This winter Russia deliberately targeted electricity, infrastructure and all heating systems in Kyiv. For example, in my constituency in Kyiv, on the left bank of Kyiv, almost one million people were living almost without heating, electricity and in some cases without water. This is not only about infrastructure damages. This is a systematic violation of fundamental human rights, including the right of life, dignity, housing and basic living conditions... 20/04/2026 | 12:41:57 Dear President, dear colleagues, Within the framework of the progress report of the Bureau and Standing Committee, I would like to highlight several important elements that deserve particular attention. First, I would like to express our appreciation to the Bureau for the adoption of the January 2026 Resolution "Supporting the commitment to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace for Ukraine and the security of the European continent". This is a strong and timely political signal. It reflects... 27/01/2026 | 20:09:17 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear colleagues, We often use the phrase "comprehensive, just, and lasting peace" as if it were a goal for a distant future.

If it is not just, it is merely an insult. And if it is not lasting, it is simply the preparation for a larger, more devastating war. We must stop... 01/10/2025 | 17:36:54 Thank you Mister President. First of all, I would like to say that we highly appreciate this work and this report because it's very important not only for Ukraine, but for all of Europe, because it's about justice. If we talk about the International Claims Commission for Ukraine, I would like to share with you some information. For example, for the entire period of Russian military aggression, which began in 2014, the the total losses inflicted on Ukraine could reach $1 trillion. Losses... 01/10/2025 | 13:32:10 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear colleagues, Behind every number, behind every report of “detained journalists,” there is a human life, a family waiting, and a voice silenced by force. Let me share just one story. This Monday, the Václav Havel Human Rights Prize was awarded to Maksym BUTKEVYCH, a Ukrainian journalist and human rights defender. For decades, Maksym has given his voice to others: refugees, vulnerable communities, those without protection. He was known for...
