In his speech, he condemned Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, referring to the invasion as a violation of international law and highlighting the bravery of the Ukrainian people in their defense of freedom and sovereignty.

Czarzasty emphasized the significance of independence for the Ukrainian people, commemorating those who have lost their lives in the struggle for a sovereign Ukraine. His remarks resonated deeply with the Ukrainian legislators, who responded with applause and a standing ovation, reflecting the shared solidarity between the two nations faced with similar challenges from oppressive forces.
