The President of Ukraine - Volodymyr Zelensky - addresses the Parliament of Lithuania from his bunker office in Kyiv, Ukraine. Zelensky stated that "the new package of sanctions should be such that Russia does not even talk about weapons of mass destruction".


Dear Mrs. Speaker, Mrs. Viktorija, I remember your visit to Kyiv, one of the first since the beginning of this war. Dear Mr. President, friend Gitanas, you have been to Ukraine many times, you and I have done a lot together. I'm sure we will do even more! Dear Mrs. Prime Minister, Mrs. Ingrida, I am grateful to you for your visit Dear Lithuanian people! I am grateful for the opportunity to address you today on behalf of the entire Ukrainian people, who will always remember your sincerity and readiness to support us at the most difficult time for our country. You were among the first to come to the aid of Ukraine. And you remain among those who care most about peace and security of Europe. Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine has posed a strategic question to Europe: are the values that underlie the unification of nations on the European continent after World War II still alive? Or the values have already played their part and can become exhibits in museums for tourists? Just part of Europe's historical heritage somewhere in the halls of ancient palaces, not something that defines real life. Unfortunately, there is no common answer to this question for all Europeans. But the future of Europe depends on this - whether there will be a common answer. In the liberated areas of Ukraine, work continues to record and investigate war crimes committed by the Russian Federation. Almost every day new mass graves are found. Evidence is being gathered. Thousands and thousands of victims. Hundreds of cases of brutal torture. Human corpses are still found in manholes and basements. Tied up, mutilated bodies. There are villages - once quite large, which were left almost without inhabitants. Hundreds of children are orphans. That is, at least hundreds of children, because we do not know the exact number of victims yet. Hundreds of cases of rape have been recorded, including underage girls, very young children.
