27/01/2026 | 20:11:25 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Madam President, Dear colleagues, Ukraine's actions under exceptionally difficult circumstances are truly impressive. Even in the midst of Russia's war of aggression, reforms continue, and the Ukrainian people remain strongly committed to their country's future. We stand firmly by Ukraine's side. We support Ukraine in defending itself against Russia's illegal war of aggression as well as in strengthening democracy, the rule of law, and human... 25/06/2025 | 16:34:49 Thank you, Mr President.

Continued support is vital for Ukraine to uphold human rights, the rule of law and democracy, which are crucial for recovery and stability not only in Ukraine, but in Europe as a whole. European countries need to remain united and strong in our support for Ukraine, as the outcome of the war will affect our... 30/01/2025 | 11:46:06 Thank you, Madam President. We all know what is the foundation of democracy. It's free and fair election. And that is something the so-called elections seen in Belarus last week were absolutely not. I am deeply worried about the situation in Belarus. The democratic situation is only getting worse. The opposition is significantly repressed by the current regime. The number of political prisoners is growing. People are dying in prisons. There are ongoing reports of torture and other human...
