I am deeply shocked by the news of the terrorist atttack in the Moscow Crocus City Mall. I wish to express my condolences to the victims and their families. There is no excuse to targeting civilians whoever and for whichever purpose does it. I strongly condemn this act of terror!

Another sleepless night for Ukraine who suffered one more massive Russian missile strike last night. Like the recents attacks on Odessa and Mykolaiv, it killed innocent people and damaged civilian infrastructure. But it only strengthens our resolve to stand by Ukraine!

Global challenges require global solutions and international organisations should develop effective synergies to address them as we concluded during the exchange with the President of the Mr Dennis Francis UN GA President today.

Deeper, more effective and properly institutionalised co-operation between United Nations and Council of Europe are exceptionally important for promoting and protecting peace, democracy and human rights in Europe and wider world. Very pleased that I share this view with António Guterres

Looking forward to interesting and productive discussions at the United Nations CSW in New York.

A month before returning to Moscow, Alexei @Navalny spoke with then PACE rapporteur Jacques Maire about his poisoning, his relations with Putin and his future. As PACE members discuss his death today in Paris, watch parts of that astonishing interview...

I am very moved and encouraged by the thousands of people who have paid their homage to Aleksei Navalny, regardless of the risks of repression. I want to see in this wave of grief and courage a sign of hope for Russia.

Another horrible human tragedy in Gaza takes lives of so many innocent people. This must stop and a peaceful solution found through dialogue before more people die on both sides.

I strongly condemn the drone attack on Odesa last night, which caused injuries and destruction. Russia will be held accountable for all the crimes it committed in Ukraine.
Oleksiy Goncharenko

Deepest condolences to the family of Alexey Navalny, his wife Yulia Navalnaya, his friends & all those who fight for more justice & freedom in #Russia .
Greatest respect and admiration to those who are not afraid to stand up against the Russian authoritarian regime today.
