"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, firstly, I would like to thank you, Ms Ashton, on the eve of the Eastern partnership summit, for your words of support for Georgia. On the eve of the summit, I would like it to be said in this Chamber that the territorial integrity of Georgia is a matter of honour for the West – this is certainly my opinion. Of course, a very large part of our debate today is on the situation in Ukraine and I would like to say that however far I may be from being a supporter and admirer of President Yanukovych, I feel it is completely inappropriate to compare today’s situation in Ukraine with the Stalinist period, as this comparison is simply dishonest, especially from those who are silent on human rights in Russia. I would like to say that if our colleagues in the Chamber are showing a very justified interest in the issue of human rights in Ukraine – I repeat, very justified – I would expect my colleagues and their political groups and chairs to show the same amount of care for human rights in the Russian Federation, in which, I would like to remind them, yet more parties are being banned and others are not being allowed to take part in the upcoming elections to the Duma, while almost half of the Ukrainian Parliament consists of members of the opposition."@en1
