Today at #PACE, I spoke about what Russia's war has done to Ukrainian sport. 800+ facilities destroyed. Nearly 700 athletes and sports journalists were killed. Countless others are now defending their country on the front lines.

Hate is a huge threat to our democracy. Spoke at the @coe Democracy Hackathon. As Vice-Chairperson of the Special Committee on the New Democratic Pact and as a jury member, I joined young innovators in search of solutions to online hate speech.

AI alone cannot solve hatred. It requires moral leadership, strong democratic norms, and responsibility from all of us. I raised this question during the Strasbourg Democracy Hackathon | No Hate Speech Week.

Russia's overnight attack on Kyiv struck one of the greatest holy sites of Christianity and a UNESCO World Heritage site – the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. A fire covering approximately 800 square meters broke out on the roof of the Dormition Cathedral after the attack. Emergency crews continue to work at the site. The damage occurred during a massive Russian assault on Kyiv that killed at least four people and injured dozens more. The strike also caused a fire at a building of the Mystetskyi Arsenal National Cultural, Arts and Museum Complex, where flames spread across about 1,000 square meters. Targeting the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is an unforgivable attack on Ukraine's cultural and spiritual heritage and a site of global significance. We expect a strong response from the international community. 💬 "We will be urgently initiating all relevant procedures within UNESCO and all other international mechanisms, demanding immediate and adequate responses to this state barbarism. We expect strong reactions by international institutions and capitals. No vague words, silence, or weak steps. We need action now to stop Russian barbarism," Ukraine's Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha has stressed.

Spoke at the PACE debate on the need for peace and stability in the broader Middle East. No political will = no lasting peace. Instability anywhere becomes a threat everywhere.

Speaking on the resolution “Countering discrimination based on religion and protecting freedom of religion or belief in Europe,” Russia stands as a clear example of abuse against Crimean Tatars.

The challenge is not to enter politics, but actually to stay in politics amidst hate, no support or joy. 🇪🇺 Spoke at the PACE within the framework of the resolution “Violence and hate speech against politicians: a threat to democracy.”

With candlelight and a LED lamp — this is what brings us light during dark nights without electricity. Spoke about what it means to live through constant power outages, and why endurance alone is no longer enough. Words alone do not stop missiles. @France24_en @markowenf24

I am always optimistic about the role of Europe, but NATO is one of the actors that could do so much more for our collective security. In my interview with @France24_en

I warmly congratulate my Ukrainian colleagues on their election to responsible positions within the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe — a strong result of consistent and effective interparliamentary work by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. @mezentseva_dep — Vice-President of @PACE_News. Serhii Vlasenko — Chair of the Committee on the Election of Judges to the European Court of Human Rights. @YOvchynnykova — Vice-Chair of the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development. @LisaYasko — Vice-Chair of the Committee on the New Democratic Pact. These elections are not only a personal recognition of professionalism and expertise, but also clear evidence of Ukraine’s growing role within European institutions. Today, Ukrainian parliamentarians help shape the agenda, defend the principles of the rule of law, human rights and justice — and do so with tangible results. I wish my colleagues every success, principled leadership and effective work in their new roles. This is another important step towards strengthening Ukraine’s voice in Europe and reinforcing our shared security.

We, Ukrainians, do not live on hope or blind faith. We live with purpose and a clear moral understanding of why we must stand. From the Revolution of Dignity to today, we defend our right to choose our future — not with Russia. @SkyNews

There can be no constructive “peace talks” while Ukrainian cities are under massive attack and pushed to the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe — without water, electricity, or basic security. In an interview with @SkyNews.
