29/01/2026 | 18:37:50 Thank you. Thank you Mister Chair. Dear colleagues, We are now speaking about the social charter. I want to take this opportunity to tell you about the social humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine. Unfortunately, right now, we have this catastrophe. During this session we twice discussed the Middle East, narrower, broader – and this is a very important issue, I completely agree with this. But we have something happening in a member state right now, and I am speaking about humanitarian... 29/01/2026 | 11:56:28 Thank you, thank you, dear President. And, you know, we're speaking now about the Middle East, and I'm reading our resolution, and it looks like, is this our reality? I just want to quote, "the eruption of open military hostilities between Israel and Iran in June 2025, followed by the direct military intervention of the United States of America targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, has further heightened the risk of wider regional conflagration, with profound implications for human suffering... 28/01/2026 | 16:43:31 Thank you. Thank you very much. Now we have a ceasefire in Gaza and this is a great result. And our aim should be to support our efforts for peace. But the best thing to preserve peace in Gaza is not to let terrorists and Hamas again run the Gaza Strip. That's the most important, because they will start a new war. There is no question of that. And we need to think about this. But I want to also raise your attention to what's going on very close to Gaza, in Iran, where this Ayatollah's regime... 27/01/2026 | 17:31:27 Thank you very much. And first of all, we're speaking about peace. And definitely we need to support all efforts towards peace. We need peace in Ukraine as soon as possible. So all efforts in this direction should be supported. But now I want to tell you something that I've never told this Assembly, never before, because I always was concerned that revealing the truth can hurt my country. But now I clearly realise that unfortunately not revealing the truth can and will hurt even more. And the... 27/01/2026 | 11:25:23 Thank you. Dear Secretary General, First of all, thank you very much for your active job and a lot of support towards Ukraine. I have two questions. First, unfortunately we have a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine right now. In minus 20 weather, people live in apartments without heating, without electricity, often without running water. It's a humanitarian catastrophe. Unfortunately I don't see humanitarian convoys, many lines of them entering Ukraine. We need everything, generators, warm... 03/10/2025 | 11:56:17 Thank you, dear Chairman, Using this opportunity of free debate, I would like to tell you about the work of the biggest network of educational cultural centres in Ukraine, which is called Goncharenko Centres. We have 43 centres in the whole country – 43 – including a centre 20 kilometres from the Russian border. Unfortunately, we needed to stop operations in some of our centres in the Donbas area because of the Russian aggression. One of our centres is occupied in the Kherson region in... 03/10/2025 | 11:43:17 Thank you. Thank you, President. First of all, thanks to the rapporteur and the Committee for a big job done. Unfortunately, this report is partly built on my case, my personal case, when during 2023, a number of times I was not allowed to cross the border of Ukraine to participate in the events of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. This was done by the government as a kind of leverage against me as an opposition politician, which is absolutely unacceptable. And I want to... 03/10/2025 | 10:32:56 Thank you. Thank you, Chair. Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur and Secretariat for the amazing job done. It's clear that artificial intelligence is an absolutely new, unique instrument. And as any instrument, you know, the knife in the hands of a surgeon will save the life. The knife in the hands of a criminal will kill. So, it's absolutely not about an instrument, but about how we use it. And it's time now to prepare for a future which is already knocking at... 02/10/2025 | 10:43:00 Dear President, Dear colleagues. You know I have a bad message for you. Unfortunately, everything will just worsen. And just please believe me. Because I remember very well, when just five, six, seven years ago, when Russians were still here and some of you wanted to take them back in the hemicycle, were saying, "We need dialogue with Russia. We need dialogue". I was just saying: "Dialogue doesn't work with them. No dialogue. They don't know this word. Please speak their language". No, you... 01/10/2025 | 19:21:55 Dear President, thank you very much for the possibility to speak. Dear colleagues, first of all I want to congratulate all of you with a big holiday. Today is the day of the defender of Ukraine, the day of the Ukrainian Army. And today the defender of Ukraine is the defender of the whole Europe, the defender of the civilised world. And this is the answer. Who are the real democratic forces in Russia? Who are the real Russians which deserve our respect? These are the Russians who, with...
