24/06/2026 | 19:28:00 Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur for the excellent job. This is a super important report. And I want to be frank with you, when this report was prepared, and during the Committee meeting, and with the amendments we were looking at during the Committee meeting, I heard from some members, they said to me, "You know, it should be more general. Too much Ukraine here". Dear colleagues, it shouldn't be this way. Ukraine is the country which makes the biggest input... 24/06/2026 | 16:44:32 Thank you very much. Dear Mr Frank SCHWABE, I just want to remind you how we had debates here when many members of this Assembly were voting to take Russia back, saying we need to have them here, when we were telling you everything that's going on. And I want to tell you now, first problems first. We have a huge problem in our Organisation. One of our member states is killed every day. And just to be effective and to defend all ourselves and our values, we need to be pragmatic. And... 24/06/2026 | 16:35:17 Thank you, dear Chairman. Thank you, dear colleagues.

We tried to co-exist with regimes which already decided that we should not exist at all. I speak about Iran, I speak about Russia and all the time we try to co-exist with them. It doesn't work. The Iranian regime should be destroyed as well as the Russian regime, because that is the only way to... 22/06/2026 | 17:15:28 Thank you, Chairman. Dear colleagues, Russia and the Russian capital, Moscow, is being bombed. Moscow is burning. Can you imagine such headlines 10 years ago? Five years ago? Or even three or four years ago, at the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion? Now that's exactly what's happening almost every day. And Russian social media is now full of videos of Russians crying, screaming, with explosions in the background. Yes, Ukrainians proved again that we shouldn't be underestimated. But...
