21/06/2022 | 19:04:08 Thank you very much. First of all, thank you to Ms Thórhildur Sunna ÆVARSDÓTTIR and Mr Frank SCHWABE for a very good work and to the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and great Secretariat of this Committee for a very good work. And I want to tell you that it is extremely important reports and I want to stress your attention on North Caucasus. That's very important. That's shows to all of us what is the Russian Empire, what is the Russian Federation. In 19th century it was said it... 21/06/2022 | 10:12:04 Thank you very much Mr President, Dear colleagues, I want to address you because I think it's an extremely important moment today. We are discussing "Security in the continent and the role of the Council of Europe" here. I just want to remind you that in 1949 this organisation was created to prevent a new awful war in Europe, after the awful Second World War with millions of victims. The idea was to prevent a new war in Europe – and let's acknowledge it, we failed. Today we again have an... 20/06/2022 | 12:54:41 Thank you Madam Chair. First of all, thank you for the possibility to speak. Secondly, I would like to address all of you, my dear colleagues, I just want to remind you that our organisation, the Council of Europe, was created as a fortress for democracy, human rights, rule of law – for the general values which unite all of us and all civilised people on the continent. In this meaning Strasbourg has been the heart of Europe – I'm saying "has been", because I think now Mariupol is the heart of... 28/04/2022 | 11:45:26 Thank you Mr President. First of all I would like to thank the rapporteur for great work done. It's not just the words, because there are many things here, in this report. First of all, awful crimes, war crimes, atrocities, were committed by Russia. Not just by Putin. It was not Putin himself who killed men and women and children. It was not Putin himself who raped women. These were concrete people – Russian military, paramilitary – who did this, and they should be responsible and accountable... 27/04/2022 | 19:09:22 This amendment is extremely important. I do ask all of you to support it because it's saying that "this money, these assets were stolen from the Russian people and should be returned to them". But sir, and what about paying for what is done by Putin? By the Russian army? Again, the Russian people, how to give it back to them? Through Putin? Or we have other ways to do it? We have only Russian public service which is absolutely controlled by a dictator, Putin. I really ask you, that is... 27/04/2022 | 19:05:29 Thank you very much, Madam President. This amendment is about changing the wording for a more precise and more juridical one. Because speaking about Russian oligarchs: who is an oligarch? What does it mean? Where is the definition? And I also already said that the Russian oligarchs do not exist in reality. These all are just pockets, wallets of Putin. Bigger and smaller, or very big, but nothing more. So first, my proposition was to change it "Russian citizens and oligarchs", to add citizens... 27/04/2022 | 18:16:16 Thank you very much. Madam President, I want to inform you that Putin answered to our Assembly, just maybe an hour or two hours ago, he mentioned the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. This modern Hitler answered to what we are doing here now. I just want to inform you that he said that the Parliamentary Assembly was organised at the beginning of 1990s – so, as always, history is not his strong point – to influence on post-Soviet countries. He said that we do not make sense... 27/04/2022 | 17:39:11 Amendment 33. It is important to raise the question of Belarus because you know that the territory of Belarus was used by the Russian Federation to attack Ukraine and also we can say absolutely clearly – and you know that I raised the issue of Belarus here in this Assembly many times – that Belarus now is really occupied by Putin. So it is very important for us to make Lukashenko's regime accountable for what was done by this regime. It is very important for us, by the way, to come back to... 27/04/2022 | 10:27:32 Thank you very much. Dear colleagues, You know I just – first of all I want to thank my political group European Conservatives Group and Democratic Alliance for the possibility that a Ukrainian is a spokesperson on this issue. But first of all I want to speak now on behalf of the Ukrainian people. That's why I'm here. That's why I left Ukraine which is now a frontline. I left my country less than almost 48 hours ago. I can tell you that you know even now when I hear an aeroplane, I think it's... 15/03/2022 | 17:22:49 Hello dear colleagues. I do not know - do you see me now and do you recognise me? Because now, I'm probably not looking like a member of the parliament, because now, I am more a member of the territorial defence of Ukraine like thousands and thousands. More than 100 thousand of my compatriots joined the territorial defence just to fight for our land, just to fight for our freedom - because unfortunately the time of words ended. Today is the time to fight for our values - if we really have...
