Ukraine needs our help now more than ever and not just with encouraging words, but with concrete actions! Human lives depend on it and I strongly endorse the appeal of the PACE members to the Congressdotgov for continued support of Ukraine against the Russian aggression.

The President of the Верховна Рада України Ruslan Stefanchuk is making a powerful appeal to PACE members for continuing support for his country's resistance to Russian aggression: 'Millions of Ukrainians are looking to you...'

I fervently condemn yesterday’s Iranian attacks against Israel. This manifest aggressive action finds no justification in international law. I call on all parties to show restraint, focus on de-escalation and find ways to build a lasting peace in the Middle East.

The PACE_Political Affairs Committee, meeting in Paris, has recommended that Kosovo* be invited to become a member of the @CoE. More details on the PACE site soon…

Next step: a plenary debate - due on 18th April - and a vote by the full Assembly on its statutory Opinion.

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!

PACE Council of Europe

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.

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.
