At the start of the meeting, Ruslan Stefanchuk expressed his gratitude for the decisions consistently made by PACE in support of Ukraine since the beginning of russia’s aggressive war. "I am sincerely grateful for PACE’s continuous policy, its decisions, and the resolutions aimed at supporting the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine," said Ruslan Stefanchuk.
The discussion also focused on further political support for Ukraine. "The assessments of the russian regime presented in the Assembly’s resolutions, and PACE’s continued objective and principled stance on russia, are of paramount importance to us," emphasized the Chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament.

He expressed hope for the support of the Plan by all members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. "This is particularly important," stressed the Chairman, "as the Victory Plan is a key tool for implementing President Zelenskyy's Peace Formula."

The parties also discussed the security situation and Ukraine's urgent defense needs, with Stefanchuk emphasizing the necessity of strengthening Ukraine’s air defense systems.

Special attention during the meeting was given to the effectiveness of sanctions against russia. The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada expressed hope that efforts to increase pressure on the aggressor would continue.
