03/10/2024 | 11:24:56 Dear Chairman, dear rapporteur, We highly appreciate that now we have the possibility to discuss such important questions and [these are] not important questions only for Ukraine, but for all the world. Actually, what is the world's biggest mistake? Maybe now for all of the democratic world, it is that we do not learn from our mistakes in the past. In the beginning of the 20th century, in the centre of Europe, we had a really awful tragedy. We had a special manmade famine, the Holodomor. I... 02/10/2024 | 17:49:51 Thank you. Dear President, dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to express my great gratitude to my colleague, to the rapporteur, Ms Mariia MEZENTSEVA-FEDORENKO because it's one of the most important and sensitive topics for all Ukrainians. As for today, more than 38 000 of Ukrainians are listed as missing people. Please imagine the average population of a big town in Europe is about 40 000 people and once this big town has disappeared from the map of Europe. We have the same... 30/09/2024 | 17:08:42 Dear colleagues, First of all I would like to say that we highly appreciate this report, so thank you very much to the rapporteur Ms Eka SEPASHVILI for this great work, and on behalf of all of the Ukrainian delegation, we also would like to say thank you to the president of the Bank, Mr Carlo MONTICELLI, for your constant support of Ukraine. Last year, the 4th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe marked a truly historic occasion. In the face of Russia's full-scale... 25/01/2023 | 18:44:52 Dear President, dear colleagues. First of all, I would like to say thank you very much to the rapporteurs for the excellent work in this sphere. For a long time, we have discussed in the Assembly the need of tackling gender-based violence, and even completed some steps to support our citizens who became victims or to prevent citizens from becoming them. In 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic dashed our hopes of changing the situation with the ever-growing number of cases of gender-based violence... 15/03/2022 | 15:21:43 Dear colleagues, I was born and brought up in Kyiv. This city always fascinated me with its beautiful views and kind people. I spent my best student years in Kyiv. The city has always fascinated me with crowded streets and lively cafes. I was selected to serve people in Kyiv, too. This city has also fascinated me with free spirit and unspeakable courage. It changed almost 20 days ago. Early in the morning on 24 February, the war knocked on the door of my country with missiles, Russian bombs... 23/06/2021 | 17:14:08 First of all I would like to say that we highly appreciate such a fluent report and the huge work of the rapporteur. In 2017, the government of Ukraine repealed the Decree of the Ministry of Health of 1997, which recognised more than 400 professions forbidden for women. Three years after, 2020, and women make up only 33% within the national parliaments of EU countries. This topic has a particular role for me as a woman – Member of Parliament – elected through the first-past-the-post voting... 22/06/2021 | 19:35:25 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The pandemic's significance and the urgent need with which the Council of Europe had to act in response has put democracy on the European continent at stake. All member States have taken exceptional measures to safeguard the international standards of human rights and the rule of law. It came as a shock for us, our citizens, and our unprepared governments. The main news is that without exceptions, we all faced it. Indeed, we lacked experience... 22/06/2021 | 19:35:02 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Not only introduced the Covid-19 pandemic new challenges for our communities but also exacerbated already existing problems. Indeed, no one could expect or predict what the world had to face in 2020. Despite current progress and technologies, the Covid-19 came as a complete surprise for our governments, freezing our lives for a moment. Now, the battle is not over yet; the aftermath is coming, needing our shared endeavours to reinforce the... 28/01/2021 | 11:07:04 We appreciate the initiating debates on this important and actual issue. Freedom of expression is one of the basis of civil society. The business model based on the collection and tracking of personal user data introduced by Big Tech companies is incompatible with the right to privacy and treatments arranged of other rights inherently, in particular, the right to freedom of expression and the right to equality and non-discrimination. Big Tech companies dominate our model of life. They control... 28/01/2021 | 10:03:26 Thank you very much, Mister Chair, thank you. We highly appreciate this discussion, first of all. Why? Because we follow the rules and procedures of this house. We consider the fact that this discussion is already a victory. A victory, because I would like to emphasise that this is the only State, Russia, which was challenged for credentials and received a yellow card. Why? Because in the world, Russia is now one of the negative record holders of the restriction of human rights, the illegal...
