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... 02/10/2024 | 17:03:28 Dear colleagues, Imagine if your friend or relative is fighting in a war, goes missing or gets into captivity by the enemy.

Yes, we're all in politics, and some may say that in politics you're not making moral, right decisions. I'm sorry. No, it's not the case anymore. Business as usual shouldn't be going the way it was going for many years because business as usual always leads to feeding those who can commit crimes and run... 26/06/2024 | 10:20:35 Dear colleagues, Let me start by congratulating my co-rapporteurs here, and others, but very important similar topics that we're discussing in one debate. Different components of the crimes, legal consequences. What can we do to protect, to counter aggression, and to look deeply on the cultural identity level what the Russian aggression creates? The Report on the role of sanctions in countering the Russian Federation's war of aggression against Ukraine is covering many important crucial...
