Speeches since 2019

01/10/2026 | 16:21:06 Thank you. We are discussing artificial intelligence (AI) here in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. And we should discuss it saying "alarm", because really, alarm. Once again, dear friends, Europe is completely, completely falling behind in artificial intelligence. It's absolutely shocking numbers. The European Union holds about 5% of the world's AI computing power compared to 74% of the United States and 14% of China. In 2024, the United States institutions produced 40... 30/09/2026 | 19:18:26 Thank you very much. And first of all, I would like to thank both rapporteurs for a great job done. Absolutely. Thank you very much, Mr Tony VAUGHAN. Thank you, Ms Alicia KEARNS. And special thanks to Ms Alicia KEARNS. Because I know that Russia always tries to take revenge on those who call a spade a spade. You call these elections fake. It's true. But as a person, I think I'm for the moment the only one, who has been sentenced by a Russian court, also including for the speeches here. I... 30/09/2026 | 18:03:44 Thank you. We're speaking about protecting the International Criminal Court (ICC) and this is very important and I completely support this. But to be able to protect somebody, you need to be able to protect yourself. I want to tell you and inform you, last week, a listening device was found in the car of a Ukrainian member of the parliament, the Head of the Investigation Commission of the Ukrainian Parliament on Corruption, a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. I am... 29/09/2026 | 16:53:43 Thank you Mister Chairman. And first of all, I would like to thank our wonderful rapporteurs, Ms Lesia ZABURANNA and Mr Jan Filip LIBICKI, for the amazing job done. This is a super important report. And it's not important just for Ukraine, where now we have hundreds of thousands of veterans. It's important for everybody, for all the countries you represent, because Europe is rearming today, and eventually every army produces veterans. And these people want to know, and they all have the right... 28/09/2026 | 15:53:36 Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, While we're speaking here today, right now, Kyiv is again on fire. Right now, several hours ago, a new attack at the National Academy of Sciences, new people killed. And then the second attack to kill rescuers who came to rescue people. That's what's happening and continues to happen in our country. And while the war is awful and it's clear and we need peace in Ukraine as soon as possible, and I once again address all of you that all your... 24/06/2026 | 19:28:00 Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur for the excellent job. This is a super important report. And I want to be frank with you, when this report was prepared, and during the Committee meeting, and with the amendments we were looking at during the Committee meeting, I heard from some members, they said to me, "You know, it should be more general. Too much Ukraine here". Dear colleagues, it shouldn't be this way. Ukraine is the country which makes the biggest input... 24/06/2026 | 16:44:32 Thank you very much. Dear Mr Frank SCHWABE, I just want to remind you how we had debates here when many members of this Assembly were voting to take Russia back, saying we need to have them here, when we were telling you everything that's going on. And I want to tell you now, first problems first. We have a huge problem in our Organisation. One of our member states is killed every day. And just to be effective and to defend all ourselves and our values, we need to be pragmatic. And... 24/06/2026 | 16:35:17 Thank you, dear Chairman. Thank you, dear colleagues. And I want to be frank with you. I will not vote for this report. And I will explain why. Not because I don't care about democracy, rule of law and human rights. I do care about them. And that's why I will not vote for this report today. I think it's not the best moment to have this report. We need to answer one question: what is our aim? If our aim is to get rid of Azerbaijan from this organisation, then we are on the right way with this... 23/06/2026 | 18:47:41 Dear colleagues, It's an extremely important report and I want to thank the rapporteur, and we definitely all need to support this report, because we made one big mistake, not once, but several times. We tried to co-exist with regimes which already decided that we should not exist at all. I speak about Iran, I speak about Russia and all the time we try to co-exist with them. It doesn't work. The Iranian regime should be destroyed as well as the Russian regime, because that is the only way to... 22/06/2026 | 17:15:28 Thank you, Chairman. Dear colleagues, Russia and the Russian capital, Moscow, is being bombed. Moscow is burning. Can you imagine such headlines 10 years ago? Five years ago? Or even three or four years ago, at the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion? Now that's exactly what's happening almost every day. And Russian social media is now full of videos of Russians crying, screaming, with explosions in the background. Yes, Ukrainians proved again that we shouldn't be underestimated. But...
