27/04/2023 | 17:09:36 Thank you, Chairman. First of all, I would like to thank you very much for all the participation, especially the first lady Olena Zelenska, who came to participate in our debate with a very touching testimony, and to all the colleagues that brought here also their testimonies in this very important subject. All those that participated, I think, are very, very important to give a solid basis to the position of the Council of Europe. I am very pleased that now we can speak loud and clear about... 27/04/2023 | 15:34:06 Thank you, Chairman, Ms Olena ZELENSKA, let me express, first of all, my gratitude for your participation in the discussion of this crucial report.

All the referendums done since 2014 are an obscene violation of international law. All along these eight months of war Mr Putin didn’t achieve any of its objectives and he will not achieve any, unless he prefers mutual... 22/06/2022 | 17:40:20 Thank you, Chairman. Europe and Ukraine are living in a dramatic situation because of the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, with also a flow of displaced persons as we haven't seen since the Second World War.
