26/06/2024 | 11:49:21 Mister President, Thanks very much for these three excellent reports. Thanks very much for this very mature, important discussion we are having here today. Obviously, all are focusing on the brutal aggression Russia made against the independent sovereign state of Ukraine. We are now discussing here with serious consequences what has happened and obviously, to keep those accountable who are behind this brutal aggression. We are in full solidarity here together. That's why the items we are... 18/04/2024 | 18:26:24 Mister President, Two weeks ago, I visited Palestine and Israel meeting the political leadership on both sides. The country is full of fear, bitterness, hate. The international community is having too many double standards. That's my question, and I have lots of confusing questions to you to address.

Now the question is that I can't actually even see what Amendment 2 is. In the last point, also, when there was a question, "should somebody be against", you didn't ask what the rapporteur's opinion was there, because, obviously, I would explain why the two-thirds majority was against Amendment 9. Now I don't actually see Amendment 2. What is the content... 25/01/2024 | 17:35:24 Mr President, colleagues, Thank you very much for your remarks - very important contributions from all of you. Ms Sviatlana TSIKHANOUSKAYA, excellent speech, excellent profound speech. You were not only looking back, you were looking forward. You said very clearly that the destiny of Ukraine and Belarus are intertwined. You clearly said that without Ukraine winning you cannot actually build a democratic society, but you also said very clearly, without democratic sovereign Belarus, there will...
