Almost 15 speakers have already responded to the appeal to foreign colleagues and deputies to visit Ukraine and see the consequences of the war with their own eyes – stated Ruslan Stefanchuk on the live UA Together TV Marathon, emphasizing the value of parliamentary diplomacy.
"They have become our lawyers in their countries and are making all the necessary decisions to support Ukraine," Ruslan Stefanchuk said.
According to him, the Verkhovna Rada strengthened inter-parliamentary ties and, inspired by the President's appeals to various parliaments worldwide, began to invite world leaders to speak in the Ukrainian Parliament. The first was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, followed by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte.
"The President of the European Parliament, Ms. Roberta Metsola, noted that this type of the leaders' speech has extremely positive feedback around the world. Speeches of world leaders in the Ukrainian
parliament are now a trend," said Ruslan Stefanchuk, adding that the appearance of the next speaker will pleasantly surprise society.
