04/10/2024 | 10:11:11 Thank you very much, Mister Chairman. Thank you to the rapporteur. First of all, I'd like to thank the rapporteur and the Committee secretariat for the excellent work they've done. It's a very important thing. We need to talk about new technologies, because they represent many opportunities, but also many threats. And now, as a Ukrainian, I'd like to draw lessons from the war in Ukraine and underline the conclusions we can reach. It's very important to realise that war has changed. Today, in... 03/10/2024 | 11:02:05 Dear Chairman, dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank Mr Knut ABRAHAM, rapporteur on this very important issue. Unfortunately, Mr Knut ABRAHAM is not with us today. Today is the National Day of Germany, German Unity Day. My congratulations to all our German friends. It's a pity that he is not here presenting his very valuable report. Maybe people who are listening to us now in translation, or those young people who are watching us, they're thinking about why these people are... 02/10/2024 | 18:00:11 Thank you very much. Thanks to the rapporteur. Thanks to the Secretariat of our Committee for a great job done. This is a very special report, by the way, on a very special day. Yesterday was the Ukrainian national day of defenders. Those defenders, thousands of whom now are in captivity, suffering, tortured, those defenders who made possible that we are here with you. It's very important to speak about them, to help them, to do everything we can for them. It's not just our goodwill, it's the... 02/10/2024 | 12:27:25 Does it work? Oh, finally. Dear Mister LANDSBERGIS, First of all, I would like to thank Lithuania and the Lithuanian people for all of your support to Ukraine and you personally for your leadership. My question is, and Lithuania is a big supporter, including military support, to Ukraine. And my question is, does Lithuania put any restrictions on the use of Lithuanian weapons, [on] how Ukraine sees they should be used, including attacks on the military objects on the territory of the Russian... 01/10/2024 | 19:59:52 Dear friends, right now Iran is bombing Israel. Right now hundreds of missiles are falling on the heads of Israeli people. Today Russia is bombing Ukraine, Iran is bombing Israel. And we are sitting here discussing, oh, let us speak about what is happening in the Middle East. I will tell you what's happening in the Middle East. Barbarians are attacking civilisation. Israel is human rights, democracy, rule of law. Women's right. Iran is a crazy dictatorship. A crazy dictatorship where they... 01/10/2024 | 16:58:55 "Thank you very much, Madam President" [spoken in French]. Dear colleagues, I'm speaking now on behalf of the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons. We will start with the report by Lord RUSSELL addressing the issue of migrant smuggling, because it's one of the priorities of the Council of Europe now and I think for the years to come. Discussions are ongoing to agree on a joint strategy. For the past ten years, the European Committee on Crime Problems has developed an action... 01/10/2024 | 10:41:48 Thank you, President. Thank you, dear rapporteur. But I want to speak about, you know, this very important report – propaganda. But this is just a part of a hybrid war. Hybrid war which Russia and its allies, North Korea, Iran, all these – their crazy terrorist proxies – Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and standing behind all of them, China, is conducting against the civilised world. This is the war. And we need to protect our people, both from propaganda and from their direct attacks. And we are... 27/06/2024 | 18:33:17 Thank you. Thank you, Mister President. I would like to start absolutely clearly. I stand with Israel. I want to say this openly, and I don't care if it is fashionable or not fashionable. I just want to say what I think, what I see, and I am saying I stand with Israel. Yes, the war is awful. Every war is awful. But in the war there are those who started it, and it was not Israel. It was Hamas on 7 October who attacked Israel, who killed people, raped people, who took hostages, and still 120... 27/06/2024 | 18:03:55 Thank you very much. Thank you to all colleagues who took part in the debate. Thank you. I think everybody agreed that it is a very important report, very timely. Thank you very much for supporting it. I think everybody agrees, so it's nothing to react on. But just I want to to ask all of you to vote for this report. It's very important. I would like once again to thank both Mr Domagoj HAJDUKOVIĆ. I'm sure he will hear us for his job. Also I would like to thank our brilliant Secretariat of... 27/06/2024 | 17:21:16 Dear colleagues, thank you very much. Yes, yesterday here we had the Olympic flame, today's Zeus the thunder master is sending greetings to us, so it means a lot, I think. And now we're moving to a very important debate: "Post-conflict time: defusing ticking time bombs for a safe return of displaced populations." And I want to tell you, dear colleagues, that this report was crafted, prepared by Mr Domagoj HAJDUKOVIĆ, our former colleague, who I hope will be welcomed back soon in our Assembly...
