“Mr President, colleagues, let me move the following oral amendment: 'Welcomes the valuable talks between the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Poland and Ukraine, held in Warsaw on 3 July, which demonstrated the goodwill of both sides to resolve the existing tensions before they develop into a crisis; calls for an open and constructive dia…”
“Madam President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, Lukashenka is imprisoning teenagers for painting slogans such as 'death to the dictatorship' and 'long live Belarus'. 16-year-old Aliaksandra Pulinovich will face ten years in prison for this expression of art and opinion.”
“Madam President, it is about the recent crimes of aggression of Russia and a call for solidarity and support. Colleagues, the historical Ukrainian monastery complex on UNESCO World Heritage List, located in the very centre of Kyiv, Pechersk Lavra, was set on fire as a result of a massive Russian attack tonight.”
“Mr President, Madam Commissioner, dear colleagues, just imagine a Taliban representative sitting in a meeting room in Brussels lecturing on human and women's rights. This is not fiction, but an arising reality. Clearly, inviting the Taliban to Brussels amounts to partial legitimisation and recognition of the terrorist group.”
“Madam President, High Representative, dear colleagues, the communist regime in Cuba proudly called the country the 'island of freedom'. But just look at what this communist Paradise has become: the persecution of dissidents and opposition figures, overflowing prisons filled with political prisoners, and a catastrophic social and humanitar…”
“Gerbiama posėdžio Pirmininke, gerbiama aukštoji atstove užsienio politikai ir saugumui, gerbiami kolegos. Nors Europa jau prisiėmė ilgalaikius įsipareigojimus didinti savo investicijas į saugumą ir gynybą, JAV karinis buvimas Europoje netapo ir tikrai netaps perteklinis.”

“Mr President, thank you, it is indeed a special day. Commissioner Kubilius, Minister, dear colleagues, I must repeat myself, what I have written in my speech, sorry for certain repetitions. Exactly 35 years ago on this day, Lithuania declared the restoration of its independence. We knew about the evil Soviet Empire from our own painful experience, but we had no illusions about the better future of Russia. Now, we must not only change our thinking and policies, but also defend Europe and our fellow Europeans. We must ensure European security, which is measured by the weakest link in its defence. Therefore, we must act together, not selectively. We must act now, not tomorrow.”
“Tai iš tiesų pavyzdys, kaip ir kuria kryptimi galime žengti, tačiau būtina laiku ir tinkamai reaguoti į ekonominius iššūkius, skatinti regionų infrastruktūros projektus bei kitas investicijas. Ir čia Europos Komisija gali tarti savo žodį. 3-0335-0000”
“Madam President, dear colleagues, taking the floor under Rule 164, and while appreciating our Wednesday debate on the need for targeted support to EU regions bordering Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, let me draw your attention to the great action which happened last weekend once the Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian energy was finally synchronised with the European continental energy ring. And this is the way we have to go and streamline, cutting down our decades‑long dependencies with eastern countries and synchronising into the single market, whatever it takes, economic, energy or whatever. So, our talk on Wednesday will be about this, about achievements and what we can do together. 1-0022-0000”
