Speeches since 2019

01/10/2025 | 11:28:10 Thank you, President. Dear colleagues, All those who are in Russian captivity should be taken back for sure. But the case of journalists is especially important, because journalists are there because they were serving societies, serving all of us. And when they are in captivity, it means all of us are in captivity. We are in a Russian prison. So we need to do everything we can to liberate them as soon as possible. Russia is deliberately hunting journalists. Why? It's clear why. Because... 30/09/2025 | 17:36:40 [Speaks in Ukrainian]. I just addressed the Kazakhs in the Ukrainian language and believe me, Kazakhs will understand me! Why? Because we have a lot in common. And most importantly, both for Cossacks and for Kazakhs, freedom is the most important. Yes, Kazakhstan stands between two empires, China and Russia. And this is a very dangerous place to be. And the shadow of Sergey LAVROV's impact is lying on Kazakhstan. We know this. Yes, geography can be a curse, but it shouldn't be the sentence... 29/09/2025 | 16:53:56 Colleagues, today we started our session with a very powerful message. Here was the original of the European Convention on Human Rights. This is a real milestone in human progress in human history. But as any other document or book, it is just a paper if it's not defended, if it's not protected. So, who today is the protector of human rights in Europe? With all respect to all of us, we like to say that we are here to protect human rights in Europe, but today, human rights in Europe are... 27/06/2025 | 10:08:07 Thank you. Dear president, dear colleagues, I want to raise an issue today of several issues. The first is about reports and their unfortunately unequal distribution between political groups. We took numbers and I can tell you that this year, if we take reports, 45% of rapporteurs are representatives of the Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group, 24% EPP, 22% ALDE, 4% European Conservatives, Patriots and Affiliates and 2% the Unified European Left. We are an even bigger group, for example... 26/06/2025 | 18:08:18 Thank you. My dear colleagues, We are now discussing an extremely important issue – Georgia. And yesterday, here in this hall, we welcomed the President of Ukraine, Mr Volodymyr ZELENSKYY. Who spoke, who made an address. But before this, who signed the agreement about establishing a Special Tribunal? A really historical moment, a tribunal for aggression. But you know what? There are six countries from member states which did not sign this agreement. And one of these six countries is Georgia... 26/06/2025 | 11:10:03 Thank you very much. Dear Chair, I want to tell you that we see that it is a very important issue. There is a lot of debate, there are different views. That's why we exist, to debate and to find the right solutions. Now I am expressing the position of my committee, as a chairperson of the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons. And I need to inform you that this report was adopted unanimously at the April meeting of the Committee, as well as the preliminary draft resolution... 25/06/2025 | 19:57:45 Thank you very much. We're speaking now about terrorism, and what terrorism is and who is a terrorist. A terrorist is a person who commits acts of terror with the aim of horrifying. So, who is the main terrorist in the world today? It is the Russian Federation and PUTIN. This is the "Osama BIN PUTIN" of today's world. And Russia is not just the state sponsor of terrorism. It's not actual anymore. Russia is a terrorist state. And this is the definition we should give to them, or we should say... 25/06/2025 | 16:48:14 Thank you, President. And I want to thank Israel. Let us thank Israel for what they are doing because we are here only talking and we are talking and we are talking again. We are making resolutions. But can you stop Iran from having nuclear weapons? With 1 000 resolutions, maybe with 1 million resolutions, can we stop Iran from having nuclear weapons? Oh, let us imagine if this Mullah's regime which killed so many Iranians. Yes, they're killing Iranians every day, this awful regime. So what... 24/06/2025 | 16:56:38 Thank you. It looks like we live with you in different worlds. In your world, children first learn the sounds of music or other sounds. In our world, children learn the sound of drones, of missiles, because they need to know this to survive. In your world, children learn the rules of mathematics and other important things. In our world, the rule of two walls, to survive. In your world, Russian geography is Moscow, St Petersburg. In our world, Russian geography is Olenya, Savasleyka, [Cape... 23/06/2025 | 17:07:26 Thank you very much. Today is the first day of our Assembly and, you know, we meet one another and you all ask me, "How are you? I just want to ask you". Don't ask me this anymore. "How are you?" [spoken in French]. Don't ask me this because I feel really bad. Polite wording to say "I am good". I am not good. Last night, Kyiv was under attack. The European capital did not sleep at all. Many people would never wake up. One hour ago, in the town of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, near my native Odessa...
