09/04/2025 | 18:29:21 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, There is a very interesting saying which might be a little bit contradictory for us, but I'll explain. It goes like this: "The true soldier is fighting not because he hates something in front of him, but because he loves a lot what is behind him. Today, thousands and thousands of brave Ukrainian women and men do really fight for everything they love which is behind them. Behind this Assembly, there are so many millions of Ukrainians who are not... 08/04/2025 | 16:17:43 Hello, colleagues. Thank you for this opportunity. I also would like to thank Valentina MARTÍNEZ, our Spanish colleague, for initiating this, and Ms Zanda KALNIŅA-LUKAŠEVICA for getting together all the important amendments and for your presence, colleagues, in very high numbers. I want to start with the draft recommendation. Indeed, the foreign interference today seeks to undermine electoral processes in your home countries. Russia's specific interference was trying to elect, on your behalf... 30/01/2025 | 17:23:16 "Dear Ms Sena Nur ÇELİK KANAT, thank you for this important report" [spoken in Ukrainian and Turkish too]. You know, colleagues, we were just laughing that there was one man speaking. This is not funny. But even more not funny is that we're still debating and discussing and there's still a need for such resolutions to enhance, enlarge and higher up the understanding of how underrepresented women are still in the global economic market. Even though, as the rapporteur has mentioned, us women... 29/01/2025 | 11:06:21 "Thank you, Madam President" [spoken in French] Thank you very much, dear colleagues, I want to start with a very unknown and interesting history of 400 young students from Ukraine who on this day, 107 years ago in 1918, prevented the possible annexation of the current capital of Ukraine, Kyiv. They fought to death against a 4 000 group of Bolsheviks and defeated them and protected the current modern territory of Ukraine. Commemorating them today, we understand how important it is in the... 03/10/2024 | 17:07:14 I think I'll extend the words of appreciation to the Committee and I will explain the main points of the resolution and I will initiate the call to the Bureau and what we have decided in the Committee after the discussions in the political groups. Dear President, dear colleagues, I would like to say a few words about the Resolution that we have revised in Paris and was adopted a few weeks ago by a large majority, the text itself. And the report and the draft resolution were the outcome of the... 03/10/2024 | 17:02:05 Thank you, dear President, colleagues, It is very sad to say, sometimes people are discriminated for the fact that they love some particular person, and the others would judge whether they are allowed or not to love this particular person. But that goes way deeper in the societal relations than that. I want to thank on behalf of our Committee Ms Béatrice FRESKO-ROLFO for her work, for the conducted hearings, for the collected information. And the fact that we didn't have any Amendments and... 03/10/2024 | 10:50:16 Hello colleagues, Thank you for this extremely important debate. I see a lot of youth representatives here, who might hear the world "Holodomor" for the first time in their lives. I would like to explain why this historical document is so important and why it is linked to Austria, Britain, and my home city Kharkiv, which was heavily bombarded by the Russian missiles yesterday, and many people were wounded, including a three-year-old child. So, colleagues, in 1933, Austrian engineer Alexander... 02/10/2024 | 17:57:03 Thank you, dear Chairman, Colleagues, I'll try to be very brief. You've referred to very concrete points of this resolution we've drafted together with the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons. And indeed, I want also to thank Switzerland for its leadership in placing the Summit on Peace this year in the respected country. And this draft resolution refers to point 4 of Mr Volodymyr ZELENSKYY's Peace Formula. That's why we're talking today about missing persons, civilians and... 02/10/2024 | 16:48:53 Dear President, Dear Secretary General, Dear colleagues, dear guests, dear families of the civilians in captivity, and dear heroes of Ukraine. I think with no due delay, we have to say that indeed, today we debate a historical document which we hope you will highly support by your votes with the title "Missing persons, prisoners of war and civilians in captivity as a result of the war of aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine". You text, but you don't receive a reply. You wait... 01/10/2024 | 19:52:11 Thank you, dear President. Honourable colleagues, Everyone who is remaining in this important debate in this hall, I have the huge privilege to present the opinion on the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination, which is the aligned committee to this report. I would like to say that we can't even call it a situation in Iran; it is a tragedy in Iran. This is a very blunt truth, because currently Mr Max LUCKS took up a very important role. This report has been prepared for longer than a...
