Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine

2023-06-06 23:13:53 I am grateful to all our rescuers, military, representatives of local communities, each of our regions, who are now helping people from our southern regions flooded by the Russian terrorist attack.

The government at all levels is doing everything to save people and provide drinking water to those who received it from the Kakhovka reservoir. Kryvyi Rih and the entire Dnipropetrovsk region, cities and villages in Kherson, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia regions – no matter how difficult it is, we have to help people.

I am grateful to everyone who is currently evacuating people from the towns and villages flooded by water from the Kakhovka reservoir. It is very important now to take care of each other and help as much as possible.

The whole world will know about this Russian war crime, the crime of ecocide. This deliberate destruction of the dam and other HPP facilities by the Russian occupiers is an environmental bomb of mass destruction. For the sake of their own security, the world should now show that Russia will not get away with such terror. And I am grateful to all leaders and states, all nations and international organizations that have supported Ukraine and are ready to help our people and our de-occupation efforts. The Prosecutor General has already appealed to the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to involve international justice in the investigation of the dam explosion.

Glory to all our people who are fighting and working for the sake of our country and our people!
Today, just like yesterday, I would like to celebrate our heroes in the Bakhmut sector... Well done, warriors! The 3rd separate assault brigade and the 57th separate motorized infantry brigade - thank you! Thank you for moving forward!
Glory to Ukraine! Buka / Bagaimana

2023-06-06 20:49:22 The explosion of the Kakhovka HPP is a threat to the world's food security, — Oleksandr Haidu, the Chairman of the Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy.

Agricultural crops in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro regions are under threat of destruction. These regions suffer from drought every year and use water from the Kakhovka Reservoir for irrigation. Now farming in these regions is under threat.

The consequences are already very significant for our farmers. It is now impossible to irrigate land in the three regions that depend on the Kakhovka HPP. These regions supply our food to the world. The explosion of the hydroelectric power plant by the russians is not only an ecocide that affects the ecosystem of the entire Black Sea region, but also another attempt by the aggressor to provoke famine in the world, said Oleksandr Gaidu.

2023-06-06 20:10:04 The act of ecocide committed by the terrorist country of russia through the blowing up and complete destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station must receive the harshest political assessment by the parliaments of Europe and the world!

As Vice-Speaker, I will initiate consideration of the relevant resolution-appeal of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine at the next meeting of the Ukrainian parliament.

Absolute evil must be called out loud and officially from the parliamentary rostrum. russia must be recognised as a terrorist state by a convincing majority of the representative bodies of all democratic countries.

2023-06-06 19:57:10 The Humanitarian and Information Policy Committee congratulates journalists on their professional holiday.

You are irreplaceable witnesses of events that take place in every corner of our country: both at the frontline and in the smallest town.

You play an important role in preserving the national consciousness.

Your articles, reports and commentaries reveal the faces of heroism, sacrifice and solidarity of the Ukrainian people as they defend their independence.

You tell stories about people who give their lives for our country, about those who are left without homes and loved ones, about those who feel the irreparable pain of loss. You give them a voice, you bring the truth to the hearts of every citizen. We thank you. Victory and peace, Iryna Konstankevych, the First Deputy Head of the Committee, greeted the media.

The Committee joins the warm words of gratitude and congratulations. We wish you health, strength and resilience, dear journalists. Buka / Bagaimana

2023-06-06 19:51:11 Fellow journalists, media professionals!

It is clear that the mood is not festive, that the ruscists are close to even more terrible terrorist crimes than the blowing up of dams, but it is also clear that much of our resistance and the consolidation of the world in the fight against evil is the result of quality journalism, which, along with education, culture, literature and new media, does not allow us to forget what is good and what is evil, and who our Heroes are!

I want to congratulate you all on Journalism Day and thank you for your work.

I really believe it is a very important part of our Victory! Thank you!

And also to remember today all the Journalists and Media workers who died during this damn war. Eternal memory!

2023-06-06 16:58:22 Зустрівся із спеціальним представником Папи Римського Франциска кардиналом Маттео Дзуппі.

Обговорили ситуацію в Україні та гуманітарну взаємодію у межах реалізації української формули миру. Лише об’єднання зусиль, дипломатична ізоляція й тиск на Росію здатні вплинути на агресора та принести справедливий мир на українську землю.

Закликаю Святий Престол зробити свій внесок в імплементацію українського мирного плану. Україна вітає готовність інших держав та партнерів у пошуку шляхів до миру, але, оскільки війна йде на нашій території, алгоритм щодо досягнення миру може бути лише українським.

——

I met with Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, Special Envoy of Pope Francis.

We discussed the situation in Ukraine and humanitarian cooperation in the framework of the Ukrainian Peace Formula. Only united efforts, diplomatic isolation and pressure on Russia can influence the aggressor and bring a just peace to the Ukrainian land.

I call on the Holy See to contribute to the implementation of the Ukrainian peace plan. Ukraine welcomes the readiness of other states and partners to find ways to peace, but since the war is on our territory, the algorithm for achieving peace can be Ukrainian only. Buka / Bagaimana

2023-06-06 16:46:06 Congratulations of the Committee on Freedom of Speech on the Day of Journalist

Dear journalists!

The Committee extends its sincere congratulations on the occasion of the Journalist's Day.

On this special day, when we celebrate your outstanding role in the development of society, we cannot ignore the difficult reality that our country is facing in the wake of russian aggression.

Unfortunately, since the beginning of the war, journalists have become victims of acts of violence and repression that have led to a large number of deaths, which is an irreversible loss for world journalism.

First and foremost, the Committee on Freedom expresses its deepest condolences to the families and colleagues of the deceased journalists on the loss of their loved ones and colleagues.

We are grateful for your fearless work in the face of threats and restrictions.

Sincerely, the Committee on Freedom of Speech of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Buka / Bagaimana
