The Council of Europe must approach these issues seriously but with clear demarcation lines, our red lines, those far and no further. Russia was expelled from this organisation for attacking another country, Ukraine. Any war of aggression shall be treated in this organisation in the future as a red line. This is a warning for all member states, those members... 22/06/2023 | 16:34:06 Dear colleagues, We are debating the possible exclusion of Russian and Belarusian athletes from the Olympic Games.

The Republic of Moldova therefore faces long-term challenges: our Assembly discussed this in January this year during the debate on the honouring of obligations and commitments of the Republic of Moldova. The Government is in the process of enacting crucial... 27/04/2023 | 17:34:58 Mr President, Dear colleagues, and especially my Ukrainian colleagues, If I could have your attention. Mariia, Mariia. Thank you very much.   Mr President, Dear colleagues, In the face of the aggression on the part of the Russian Federation, the Council of Europe must redouble its efforts to support the Republic of Moldova, with the aim of strengthening the country's democratic resilience and to accompany it resolutely on the path of its integration into the European Union.
