09/04/2025 | 18:29:21 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, There is a very interesting saying which might be a little bit contradictory for us, but I'll explain. It goes like this: "The true soldier is fighting not because he hates something in front of him, but because he loves a lot what is behind him. Today, thousands and thousands of brave Ukrainian women and men do really fight for everything they love which is behind them. Behind this Assembly, there are so many millions of Ukrainians who are not... 08/04/2025 | 16:17:43 Hello, colleagues. Thank you for this opportunity. I also would like to thank Valentina MARTÍNEZ, our Spanish colleague, for initiating this, and Ms Zanda KALNIŅA-LUKAŠEVICA for getting together all the important amendments and for your presence, colleagues, in very high numbers.

They fought to death against a 4 000 group of Bolsheviks and defeated them and protected the current modern territory of Ukraine. Commemorating them today, we understand how important it is in the... 03/10/2024 | 17:07:14 I think I'll extend the words of appreciation to the Committee and I will explain the main points of the resolution and I will initiate the call to the Bureau and what we have decided in the Committee after the discussions in the political groups. Dear President, dear colleagues, I would like to say a few words about the Resolution that we have revised in Paris and was adopted a few weeks ago by a large majority, the text itself. And the report and the draft resolution were the outcome of the...
