26/01/2022 | 17:29:17 Thank you, Mister Chairman. We propose to add the next words while depriving them so to ratify, if you so much want to ratify for dialogue, for everything, for defence of European Court of Human Rights, for Russian citizens, but don't forget that Putin changed the Constitution and now they can neglect it. But okay. But if ratify we propose to do it like this, while depriving them of the right to be appointed rapporteurs according to the rule 50.1. Because it's clear that the representatives... 26/01/2022 | 17:22:04 Dear colleagues, we propose just to delete the word "also" because it's hard to understand. What does it mean "also"? It is said it should "also" be highlighted. So "also" means that we have a number of positive things from Russian Federation. Which number? The whole report is about violation on violation on violation. What was done during the three years that the Russian Federation came back here? It was said at that moment that there will be progress, that we will have a dialogue, and the... 26/01/2022 | 16:17:18 Thank you. You know, you can read this report. Everything is right except the conclusion! Russia is violating everything, but the conclusion is: OK, let's not react at all. It's unbelievable. I just want to remind you in 2005 former KGB agent Vladimir Putin said that the biggest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century is the collapse of the Soviet Union, and he started to rebuild the Soviet Union. Just take a look: Kazakhstan, Belarus, occupied territory of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova... 26/01/2022 | 12:08:57 Thank you Madam Chair. Thank you to the rapporteur for his great work and a really important report. I would like to speak about the fact that sport should be out of politics. That's extremely important today, because we know historically that dictators, tyrants, they like to use sport to cover their crimes and to show their might. We know this starting from Mr Adolf Hitler and finishing with Mr Vladimir Putin. We know that on 8 August 2008, on the day of the beginning of the Summer Olympic... 26/01/2022 | 11:14:18 Thank you. Thank you Mr President. First of all I would like to thank the rapporteur for the great work and a great report. Thank you very much. It is a really very important issue we are discussing now. Football is not just a sport. Football is the favourite game of millions. That's why it is also often used in an absolutely wrong way. It is often used in a wrong way in commercial issues, but also, unfortunately, in political issues which we are here for, our Assembly, the Council of Europe... 25/01/2022 | 16:12:28 Thank you very much, Madam Secretary General. The situation in Belarus is worsening from day to day. Alexander Lukashenko became the complete puppet of Putin and now together with Putin, he threatens Ukraine with war. He weaponises through migration and this so awful crisis on the borders with Council of Europe member States. He is killing opposition inside his country. The situation is awful. During last year, we twice made resolutions in which it was said that a special body or group should... 24/01/2022 | 19:52:53 Thank you, Mr COTTIER, for your also very rightful words about crisis management, which we need to do, not to have millions of refugees here on our continent. That is why such things as the Afghanistan crisis or possible new wave of intervention of Russia against Ukraine, which can cause millions of refugees, is so important for us to discuss, not only to watch it but to work to prevent it. Special thanks also to Mr HOWELL from the United Kingdom. I absolutely agree that the defence of human... 24/01/2022 | 18:24:55 Thank you Mr President, dear Commissioner Ylva Johansen, dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, The European Union Pact on Migration and Asylum elaborated by the European Commission is an important set of proposals aimed at improving asylum and migration management procedures in Europe. In the present political context in Europe there is a real threat of a new wave of military invasion by Russian troops in Ukraine, which can provoke millions of refugees. The recent political crisis in... 24/01/2022 | 14:02:52 Thank you very much. I feel that we need to discuss the very important question of credentials of the Russian delegation after the report about the Mr Navalny case because these two issues are absolutely connected. When we are speaking about Putin killing his own oppositioners, we need to understand also what is the position of our colleagues from the Russian Parliament and also certainly these questions are connected. So my proposition is first, Mr Jacques MAIRE's report on the Alexei... 30/09/2021 | 17:42:20 Thank you Mr Chairman, dear colleagues, I want to thank the rapporteur for a very good report on an extremely important topic, because that's the 21st century, dear colleagues; really – cyber activity, cyber attacks, and cyberwars are something which we face in our time. I just want to remind you that last week there was a statement by the EU High Representative on Foreign Policy, Mr Josep Borrell Fontelles, and I want to quote it: "Some EU Member States have observed malicious cyber...
