23/04/2026 | 10:49:28 Dear colleagues, After more than 11 years of Russian crimes of aggression, attacks against civilians and systematic threats to the democratic order of Europe as we know it, the decisiveness of the Parliamentary Assembly to hold the architects of this war to account must be non-negotiable. We have spoken a lot about The Hague for Mr Vladimir PUTIN and his friends, but only our co-operation and determination in working towards a common goal make it possible to happen. The Special Tribunal for... 22/04/2026 | 19:18:08 Dear colleagues, I would like to begin by thanking my colleague, our rapporteur, for her thorough work on this report.

While it’s indeed important developments, yet, we cannot let relief overshadow reality. Ukrainian prisoners of war continue to endure systematic torture and humiliation. Over 90% of our returned... 10/04/2025 | 19:02:32 Thank you, Mister President. I would like to begin, honourable members, by thanking the rapporteur for preparing this timely and important report. Today's international co-operation is being tested. Alliances are shifting and the rules-based international order is increasingly under threat. It is more important than ever that we stand united and strengthen our ties with partners who share our commitment to international law, democracy, and human rights. I fully support the report's call to...
