10/04/2025 | 17:34:49 Dear colleagues, Last year, I've heard many times many of our European colleagues saying, we will make decisions after the American elections, after someone else in United States is elected, and then we will try to follow up with our policies. Since recently, I think I don't need to explain why many European member states became more aware of the importance to act independently without any other elections in other parts of the world. Me personally, I've been stressing the importance of a... 10/04/2025 | 10:40:19 Dear colleagues, When I was a child, for me, "Chernobyl" as a word was very scary. But at the same time, all of us in the Ukrainian delegation, and not only, we were raised with knowledge on Chernobyl and the consequences of Chernobyl.

And as is rightly said in the report, we have unprecedented challenges for different international organisations. I don't need to name them, they are all in the report. But what do we see now? We see that some of these organisations, including the United Nations, International... 03/10/2024 | 10:40:12 Dear colleagues, I want to tell you thank you for each of you who are giving a speech now about Holodomor. I'm going to say thank you to the rapporteur, for the current chair who are presenting these. [For] so many years, Ukrainians were waiting until Holodomor would be recognised as a genocide. You know, at that time, times in the thirties, during Stalin's times, it was such a dramatic time. My great-grandmother used to be telling my mother that during Holodomor, she would go to her work...
