21/04/2026 | 18:43:22 Dear Chair, dear colleagues, Today’s topic is extremely important for Ukraine. Our Constitution guarantees freedom of thought, conscience and religion, as well as the separation of Church and State. For this reason, freedom of religion for us is not just an abstract slogan, but an integral part of the European democratic model that we defend every day. However, Russia views religion in a completely different way. For it, religion is not a space of freedom, but an instrument of control... 21/04/2026 | 11:36:06 Mister President, Dear colleagues, For Ukraine, this issue is not theoretical. We are living in the conditions of war where the Russian Federation used not only missiles and tanks, but also terror, political assassinations, hate-driven information campaigns and attempts to physically eliminate political leaders. Recently, Ukraine was shocked by the assassination of Mr Andriy PARUBIY, the former chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and a member of the Ukrainian parliament. The... 09/04/2025 | 17:55:42 Mister President, dear colleagues. Today, we are witnessing alarming shifts in the global political landscape. The Russian Federation, which has been waging an aggressive, bloody war against Ukraine for over 11 years, is now gaining a real chance to evade responsibility for all the crimes it has committed – both against the Ukrainian state and its people. Russia is striving to reshape its image: to lift sanctions, restore diplomatic relations and push the world to “move on.” We already see... 08/04/2025 | 10:48:30 Dear President, dear colleagues, Foreign interference is a reality that undermines the stability of European democracy every single day. The most dangerous tools of such interference include disinformation, cyberattacks, hacking, as well as political and financial meddling in the internal affairs of sovereign states. Today, the main aggressor of the European continent is the Russian Federation. It's waging a full-scale war against Ukraine. But its influence has long extended beyond our... 30/01/2025 | 18:46:34 Mister President, Dear colleagues, Social media have become an important platform for exchanging views, disseminating information and mobilising society. At the same time, in the context of the war in Ukraine, their influence has become even more significant. These platforms have become an arena for information warfare, where disinformation, propaganda and hate speech are actively spread along with the truth. According to the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, in the first six... 30/01/2025 | 12:32:30 Dear colleagues, today I address you during a time when the largest war in eight decades is unfolding on the European continent. For three years now, Ukraine has been heroically resisting for the full-scale aggression of the Russia Federation. And this struggle is not only about our survival, but also about the shared future of Europe. During this time, Russia has suffered losses of approximately more than 800 000 personnel, nearly 10 000 tanks, 20 000 armoured combat vehicles and 22 000... 03/10/2024 | 10:58:26 Dear Chairman, Dear colleagues, Dear rapporteur, Dear youths, Today we commemorate the 90th anniversary of one of the most tragic pages in the history of the Ukrainian people, the Holodomor of 1932–33, which was deliberately organised by the Soviet regime with the aim of destroying the Ukrainian nation. For Ukraine, the topic of the Holodomor is very painful because it's not just a page of history, but a national tragedy, the consequences of which we still feel. Even today there are living... 02/10/2024 | 17:39:00 Dear Chairman, dear Mariia, dear colleagues, Today we are discussing one of the most disturbing and painful topics related to the war that Russia started against Ukraine: thousands of Ukrainian citizens, both military and civilian, have gone missing or been captured by the Russian occupiers, and their fates remain unknown. Unfortunately, the topic of exchanging prisoners of war is also a reason for political blackmail, manipulation and psychological pressure on Ukrainians. Russian authorities... 27/06/2024 | 12:16:34 Thank you, Madam Chairman. Dear rapporteur, dear colleagues, First of all I would like to say thank you to all the countries that sheltered Ukrainians and became a second home for them after the start of full scale war. I support all those measures outlined in the Resolution aimed to continue to provide support to Ukraine and Ukrainian citizens abroad, as well as calling for the release of forcibly displaced or deported persons, and the return of forcibly displaced children. However, this war... 26/06/2024 | 11:59:51 Honourable Chairman, dear colleagues, dear Ms Yevheniia KRAVCHUK, Having chosen all these topics for the speech, I would like to draw special attention about the erasure of cultural identities in war and peace particular issue. The erasure of cultural identity during the war is a serious threat and urgent problem for Ukraine. The process of Russification of Ukrainian cities, the aggressive propaganda and imposition of Russian narratives endangers the identity of the Ukrainian people. This has...
