20/06/2023 | 19:39:44 Thank you. Dear Mister President, Dear Members of Assembly, First and foremost, I would like to express my condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones because of the Covid-19 pandemic. This global crisis has shaken the world. It was such a challenge for our global health security system. I represent Ukraine and, as all you know, before Covid-19, we received another virus, even more negative, lethal virus, the virus of racism. It is about Russian aggression against Ukraine.

We have reached the level of democracy when we are discussing the adaptation of national constitutions to human rights. We are discussing the rule of law, which is based on human rights. We will make European constitutions as perfect as possible, but they are powerless against a cynical external enemy and powerless against Russian aggression... 27/01/2023 | 10:35:17 Dear President, Dear members of the Assembly, No one in Europe knows more than Ukrainians about the pain and death that weapons bring. Ukrainians also understand how weapons can help defeat an aggressor. Everything depends on whose hands the weapons are in. Paragraph 9 of this resolution has a very clear lesson for us: Autonomous weapons systems must not be used if they are likely to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering. The Russian occupiers made a real massacre in Irpin...
