Education is a fundamental pillar of democracy. Schools are places for academic knowledge, and, what is more important, schools are places where young people can become members of community. Children learn subjects and improve their social skills, and it's very important. To tell the truth, the situation in my country, Ukraine, which I represent here, is unfortunately the opposite... 28/01/2026 | 11:20:05 Dear members of the Assembly, Dear rapporteur, thank you for this excellent report. Dear representatives of democratic countries, The fact that our Ukrainian delegation is working here in this hall today is thanks to Ukrainian youth.

Later, young Ukrainians were among the first to join the Ukrainian army to stop the... 23/06/2025 | 17:20:58 Thank you, Madam Speaker. Dear members of Assembly, it's a great honour for me to be here in the place where democracy, rule of law, human rights are valued. I am here as a member of the Ukrainian delegation to remind you that Russia is a terrorist and their government must have responsibility for the aggression against Ukraine, for air attacks and for brutal full-scale war which Russia continues in Ukraine for more than 12 years, especially the last three years. Unfortunately, last night... 09/04/2025 | 18:10:00 Dear Mister President, dear rapporteur, dear members of the Assembly, I am here today because of brave Ukrainian soldiers.

Last year our Ukrainian army... 07/04/2025 | 17:18:29 Madam President. Dear members of the Assembly, It's a great honour for me to be here with you in this centre of democracy. Dear representatives of democratic European countries, First of all, thank you because it's a great honour for me to tell you here and tell you this word thank you. It's real that Russia decided to destroy Ukraine, destroy democracy and destroy Europe. And we have been fighting for the last 12 years, every day, the strong Ukrainian people. And I am a member of the... 01/10/2024 | 20:37:26 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear members of the Assembly! First of all, I want to thank each one for your efforts to protect democracy, rule of law, and human rights in Europe.

First of all, thank you for your support for Ukraine this week here – for your support for Ukraine all the time. It is very important to think about the post-conflict time. But I want to underline that now in these seconds, war continues in my country. A war that Russia started against Ukraine. A war that destroys lives, nature, childhood, infrastructure – it is destroying everything. A war which leaves thousands of ticking time bombs on our... 16/04/2024 | 16:50:49 Dear Mister Chairman, dear Mister President of Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, dear members of the Assembly, It is a great honour for me to be here in this symbolic place where values such as democracy, the rule of law and human rights are appreciated.
