18/04/2024 | 12:36:54 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) We thank Mr. Moutquin for highlighting the necessity of formalisation of the right to a healthy environment with the Reykjavik Process, that, in turn, plays a crucial role in enabling the Council of Europe to step up its environmental activities. We also thank Ms. Ovchynnykova for emphasizing seas and oceans conditions. The themes addressed in the resolutions are closely intertwined with the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war. While we advocate... 17/04/2024 | 19:04:01 I want to thank Mr Christophe LACROIX for raising this issue in the Assembly. I also thank you, Madam President, for reminding us that today's debate is dedicated to the issue of LGBTI rights. Despite the war, Ukraine is trying to support every group of the population, so we believe that it is inappropriate to manipulate the issues of LGBTI people and national minorities. The movement for the rights and equality of the LGBTI community in Ukraine has a long and complex history, however, this... 16/04/2024 | 19:59:21 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) I thank the rapporteurs and the Assembly on behalf of millions Ukrainians whose lives have been shattered by Russia's war of aggression, whose homes are destroyed and whose hometowns are razed to the ground. I thank the Speaker of Parliament, Mr. Ruslan Stefanchuk, for speech! I would like you to see me as an ordinary Ukrainian citizen who is woken up at dawn by explosions; whose morning begins with news of new destruction; who sees and hears... 26/01/2024 | 12:43:44 [beginning of speech is cut off] ... Monitoring Committee for its assessment of Ukraine's progress and recommendations. So we thank the EU member states for their trust and for granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for accession to the Union. Indeed, as a result of the Russian Federation's war of aggression against Ukraine, it is difficult to monitor the fulfilment of the commitments undertaken. Nevertheless, I would like to know the extraordinary progress made by Ukraine amid these... 26/01/2024 | 11:46:21 Thank you. Dear colleagues, We express sincere gratitude to Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ for addressing a critically important and relevant topic. It is imperative to emphasise the necessity for co-ordinated measures to protect children’s rights in public, private, and religious institutions that are supposed to be safe havens. We appreciate the adoption of the Resolution "Situation of the children of Ukraine" yesterday. And thank you, dear colleagues, for the unwavering support with regards of the... 25/01/2024 | 12:36:18 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Last April, I had the honor of participating in a debate in these walls on the deportation and forced displacement of Ukrainian children and other civilians to the Russian Federation or the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Today, as then, the issue of the ill-treatment of Ukrainian children deported to the Russian Federation is on the Assembly's agenda. We are grateful for your concern! Since February 24, 2022, Russia has taken... 24/01/2024 | 20:04:34 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) I am grateful to the speakers for raising the issue of current global challenges and a clear understanding of their causes. Living in the era of Russian aggression against Ukraine and the aftermath of Covid pandemic, we are facing a significant change in globalization trends. It is important that the countries of the OECD and candidate countries work together to address global challenges. We appreciate recognition of values that Ukraine... 24/01/2024 | 19:22:36 We are thankful to the rapporteur for raising such a relevant topic. Prison functions are facilities of correcting behaviour and changing mindsets, which is why the conditions of detention should help prepare prisoners for normal life in society with the legal framework. This is incompatible with inhumane treatment, bullying, torture and intimidation. The situation in a penitentiary system of Ukraine escalated with the full scale invasion of the Russian Federation. Beatings, murders... 28/04/2023 | 11:44:44 Thank you. I thank the rapporteur for raising such an important topic at today's meeting. Uman: a Russian missile hit a residential building and 10 people died. Dnipro: Russia killed a two-year-old child and a woman. Ukrainka: a 13-year-old girl was injured. These are the first headlines I saw this morning. "Not enough, the building should be destroyed to the foundations", and "Ukrainians should suffer", were the comments from ordinary Russian social media users. After killing Ukrainian... 27/04/2023 | 16:38:24 I would like to thank the rapporteur for supporting us. Thanks to the first lady of Ukraine, Ms Olena Volodymyrivna Zelenska, for this speech. Right now, my child, a nine-month-old boy, Bogdan is here. He has travelled more than 2 000 kilometers to be with me. Unfortunately, not all Ukrainian children have the opportunity to be with their families right now. Today's world's largest country in terms of territory, the Russian Federation, is forcibly removing other people's children. At the same...
