24/06/2025 | 17:26:15 Mr President, honourable colleagues, first, I sincerely thank our rapporteurs Mr Eerik-Niiles KROSS and Ms Yelyzaveta YASKO for your moral clarity, deep commitment to truth, and political and personal courage. To you, Yelyzaveta, for your personal courage to become a mum during the war and for your personal courage to work on such an important topic of repatriating and the release of prisoners of war. Eerik, who only in the last two months was twice in Ukraine, working, permanently working... 10/04/2025 | 10:23:56 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, I would like to thank the rapporteur for such an important report. Big thanks to Ms Yuliia OVCHYNNYKOVA. She did a very good job. And actually I must say that she has done a big job to contribute to development of this draft Convention for protecting the environment. And Yuliia dedicated all her life to science, environmental protection. I dare say that she is not only the best specialist in our parliament, but the Assembly too in the environmental... 09/04/2025 | 18:19:44 Thank you, President. Dear colleagues, foremost I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the rapporteur that also initiated this report, Mr Iulian BULAI. Thank you for your leadership, and thank you colleagues for your unwavering support to Ukraine. These debates are incredibly important. While Russian attacks increased and are horrifying, in just the past month over 4 000 of navigated bombs and 4 000 of Shahed drones. Russia improves its weapons, makes them more sophisticated, to kill... 08/04/2025 | 16:31:01 Dear colleagues, It's a record. I'm the last one in the list of 33. Dear President, Dear colleagues, first of all, many thanks to Ms Zanda KALNIŅA-LUKAŠEVICA for such a timely report that highlights all the threats of interference into our democratic systems. In Ukraine, we have been experiencing and observing Russian interference in our political system for decades. Today, during the Russian war of aggression, they use unacceptable actions, disinformation, psychological campaigns. They use... 07/04/2025 | 17:11:54 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, First of all I would like to thank the Bureau and all colleagues engaged in addressing the pressing challenges facing our countries. Admitted, so many vital current and urgent debates from which you can see how the world is being destabilised these days. I highlight your focus on Ukraine. The Bureau's decision to participate in the Black Sea Forum in Odesa at the end of May is incredibly crucial. The Black Sea remains a critical flashpoint. PUTIN... 31/01/2025 | 10:41:03 Dear colleagues, I would like to thank Ms Carmen LEYTE for her important work on this report. Long Covid is not just a health issue, it's also a human rights issue. Today, we have the opportunity to improve the lives of millions of people. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused nearly 7 million deaths worldwide. But its effects did not stop there. In Europe, at least 22 million people are now suffering from Long Covid. They have difficulty accessing appropriate care and face financial problems... 30/01/2025 | 18:19:25 Dear President, Dear colleagues, I would like to thank the rapporteur Ms Valentina GRIPPO for a very important report. As social media became the modern-day Agora and we become very reliable on information and we get most of it from social media, we can share our thoughts, we can engage in debate, and more than 2 000 years ago, Octavian launched a disinformation campaign to destroy his rival Mark Antony and eventually become the first Roman Empire, Caesar. Since those ancient times... 29/01/2025 | 17:37:05 Dear President, dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank Zanda as the chair of the Monitoring Committee and as a rapporteur, she did balance as much as possible. It was possible, crucial, important work. So probably, as it is in the report, the members of the Georgian delegation's credentials are to be ratified with suspended rights, of course, in the Council of Europe until they repeal the law of foreign agents, release political prisoners and announce an election. Do we believe... 29/01/2025 | 16:09:49 Thank you, Mister President, dear Prime Minister Frieden, First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to your country and to you for being a reliable partner to Ukraine for fruitful co-operation and support. My question would be what specific measure can Luxembourg take to expand its military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, who daily fights for its survival against Russia as an aggressor? And as it is Luxembourg's presidency, I would also like to use this opportunity to ask for... 28/01/2025 | 10:38:50 Dear Mister President, Dear fellow colleagues, I want to express my gratitude on the behalf of Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe to the rapporteur for addressing the need to uphold the rules-based international order. That lies in the heart of preserving peace, security and stability, particularly when its principles are under constant threat. The war in Ukraine underscores this urgency. Russia assaults the principles upon which the UN and Council of Europe were founded by...
