24/06/2025 | 17:41:15 Thank you, Mister President. First of all, I would like to we will start by thanking our rapporteurs for raising such important and such sensitive topics not only for Ukraine, but I think for all Europe. Since the last time we gathered in this chamber, Ukraine has endured more cruel nights, more missile strikes on homes, schools and hospitals. Even today, when we started our discussion about these reports in Ukraine, in Dnipro city, which is a southern city, we also had an awful missile... 08/04/2025 | 16:13:26 Thank you very much. First of all, I would like to say thank you very much to the rapporteur for such fantastic work. As a member of the Ukrainian delegation, its a matter of fact that when we discuss foreign interference, especially in the light of electoral processes, the primary focus is on Russia. This state has a proven track record of actively working to undermine the integrity of democratic elections through various means, including disinformation campaigns, cyberattacks, and efforts... 30/01/2025 | 16:46:08 Hello. First of all, I would like to say thank you to the rapporteur for the great work, and actually, I would like to talk a little bit about this very important issue and very important problem in Europe. In today’s changing global economy, gender equality is not just about fairness – it is essential for economic growth. All around the world, women’s involvement in the workforce, access to business opportunities and the adoption of gender-sensitive budgeting are helping shape the future of... 03/10/2024 | 11:24:56 Dear Chairman, dear rapporteur, We highly appreciate that now we have the possibility to discuss such important questions and [these are] not important questions only for Ukraine, but for all the world. Actually, what is the world's biggest mistake? Maybe now for all of the democratic world, it is that we do not learn from our mistakes in the past. In the beginning of the 20th century, in the centre of Europe, we had a really awful tragedy. We had a special manmade famine, the Holodomor. I... 02/10/2024 | 17:49:51 Thank you. Dear President, dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to express my great gratitude to my colleague, to the rapporteur, Ms Mariia MEZENTSEVA-FEDORENKO because it's one of the most important and sensitive topics for all Ukrainians. As for today, more than 38 000 of Ukrainians are listed as missing people. Please imagine the average population of a big town in Europe is about 40 000 people and once this big town has disappeared from the map of Europe. We have the same... 30/09/2024 | 17:08:42 Dear colleagues, First of all I would like to say that we highly appreciate this report, so thank you very much to the rapporteur Ms Eka SEPASHVILI for this great work, and on behalf of all of the Ukrainian delegation, we also would like to say thank you to the president of the Bank, Mr Carlo MONTICELLI, for your constant support of Ukraine. Last year, the 4th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe marked a truly historic occasion. In the face of Russia's full-scale... 25/01/2023 | 18:44:52 Dear President, dear colleagues. First of all, I would like to say thank you very much to the rapporteurs for the excellent work in this sphere. For a long time, we have discussed in the Assembly the need of tackling gender-based violence, and even completed some steps to support our citizens who became victims or to prevent citizens from becoming them. In 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic dashed our hopes of changing the situation with the ever-growing number of cases of gender-based violence... 15/03/2022 | 15:21:43 Dear colleagues, I was born and brought up in Kyiv. This city always fascinated me with its beautiful views and kind people. I spent my best student years in Kyiv. The city has always fascinated me with crowded streets and lively cafes. I was selected to serve people in Kyiv, too. This city has also fascinated me with free spirit and unspeakable courage. It changed almost 20 days ago. Early in the morning on 24 February, the war knocked on the door of my country with missiles, Russian bombs... 23/06/2021 | 17:14:08 First of all I would like to say that we highly appreciate such a fluent report and the huge work of the rapporteur. In 2017, the government of Ukraine repealed the Decree of the Ministry of Health of 1997, which recognised more than 400 professions forbidden for women. Three years after, 2020, and women make up only 33% within the national parliaments of EU countries. This topic has a particular role for me as a woman – Member of Parliament – elected through the first-past-the-post voting... 22/06/2021 | 19:35:25 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The pandemic's significance and the urgent need with which the Council of Europe had to act in response has put democracy on the European continent at stake. All member States have taken exceptional measures to safeguard the international standards of human rights and the rule of law. It came as a shock for us, our citizens, and our unprepared governments. The main news is that without exceptions, we all faced it. Indeed, we lacked experience...
