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... 27/01/2022 | 12:38:53 Thank you, dear colleagues. We are now discussing the security situation in Europe and we need to admit that it is the worst in the 21st century. The world hybrid war started by Putin in 2008 by the war against Russia, we see it now. During this time we see propaganda war, cyberwar, we see small-scale terroristic attacks like killing in Salisbury, Berlin, like explosions in the Czech Republic, medium-to-large-scale military operations like the Russian wars against Georgia, Syria, and first of... 26/01/2022 | 19:26:56 Once again, we had a very fruitful discussion with colleagues. I agree on the wording that we found together. Once again, thank you, because that's very important work. Unfortunately, I don't believe in any reaction of the Russian Federation on what we're doing here. Like always, there will be nothing. I hope that all people, our rapporteur, the President of the Committee, all members, will remember this moment. Maybe when we discuss the credentials of the Russian Federation next time, they... 26/01/2022 | 19:21:21 Once again, a big thanks to the Secretariat and the rapporteur for their great work and to the president of our committee who worked on this. Now an oral sub-amendment was proposed. But the oral sub-amendment says "as soon as possible", we are speaking about terms, when the Russian authorities should react. Sorry, but when we are talking about the Russian Federation, the words "as soon as possible" mean "never". And we know this unfortunately about many cases: Mr Alexei Navalny, Mr Boris... 26/01/2022 | 18:16:34 I am certain that Russians would like for Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Vrubel, Tchaikovsky, for those to be the face of Russia, and for Russia to be associated with them, and not with Mr Alexei Navalny. It's quite clear that's not what the situation is. Mr Vladimir Putin is the face of Russia, he is the person that kills. He has become one of the richest people in the world. He has drawn together the colossal resources of that country for his benefit. Let's not forget that people in Russia make an... 26/01/2022 | 17:34:34 Thank you. The same. We propose the smallest possible punishment for what has been done. We propose not to allow members of Russian delegation to take part in any election assessment mission. Hence, it's clear why. What can they show to other countries? How to falsify elections? How to make elections on the internationally recognised territory of another state? How to use hundreds of thousands of people to forcefully participate? That is the idea of putting them on an election observation...
