26/01/2023 | 20:07:04 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova have shared a common past for a long time. Our three countries have together endured decades of Soviet oppression and occupation. We walked together on a difficult path to freedom and independence. But since then, we have seen the violent face of Russia seeking to curb our national sovereignties and territorial integrities. Despite these challenges, our three nations have found a common future in European... 25/01/2023 | 10:44:39 Thank you, Mr President. First of all, let me congratulate the rapporteur, because it was definitely an excellent and very important topic. But I have to underline that it would be futile to speak here and condemn violations of the Paris Agreement or of any other international climate accord or environmental standard. A regime that steals, rapes, and murders will also actively violate every human right in a conflict, including the right to a clean environment. It may take years for anyone to... 24/01/2023 | 11:12:48 Thank you, Chair. First of all, my congratulations to the rapporteur's excellent work and definitely it's very much important, especially for women, as we heard. And I have to say that the war is a tragedy and war is a hell for women and girls, for sure. This brutal and unjustified invasion of Ukraine by Russia has once again shown this to the world. Children as young as four years old and elders as old as 80 have been confirmed as rape victims in Ukraine. Russia is using rape as a weapon of... 14/10/2022 | 13:21:00 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Europe is in reality when Ukraine stands as a shield for 233 days. The crimes against humanity committed by Russia in Ukraine and the propaganda articulated by the Kremlin showed the extent to which the free world is now under attack. Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is a turning point in European history. But the West witnessed Putin’s brutal action against Georgia in 2008 invading my country. Furthermore, the Russian invasion of Georgia... 13/10/2022 | 17:50:13 Thank you very much.  First of all, I definitely want to thank the rapporteur and congratulate them for bringing up this very interesting and important topic and say that as a young girl, I used to be a part of different sports games and groups. I remember that embarrassing feeling after the staring looks of some older males. I was not feeling comfortable, and I am sure that this is a moment for lots of young girls, how while they are playing basketball, soccer, tennis or wrestling at the... 28/04/2022 | 18:14:34 Thank you, Mister President. Well, first of all, let me thank you our colleagues, for the report which gives a full overview of significant and important issues in Georgia. As we understand, and my colleagues definitely know, Georgians share the values and aspirations we all represent in this noble organisation, and the Georgian public made their Euro-Atlantic ambitions abundantly clear. But we also have to remember that 20% of the Georgian territory is occupied, and Georgian citizens in the... 27/04/2022 | 16:43:16 Thank you, Mr President. Well, first of all I want to thank Mr Frank SCHWABE for the report and very essential and important issues highlighted in there. Yes, it must be the primary goal to act according to civilised standards as Europe, as international organisations. And indeed we have a great role and responsibility to respond to Russian aggression in Ukraine: killings, rape, bombing, and the Russian Federation desire to exterminate Ukrainians. We have a pronounced task to make Putin... 15/03/2022 | 17:10:07 Thank you, Mister President. Our hearts are bleeding as Ukraine is under attack. Russia launched a devastating attack on Ukraine, a European democracy of 44 million people, killing innocent people, children, women, pregnant women. This is a disaster of modern history. We all think it’s a bad nightmare: a madman’s desire to destroy an independent country. For us Georgians, because I'm from Georgia, Russia’s behaviour bears a chilling resemblance to its approach to Georgia in 2008. Putin...
