Russia has once again struck Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, just days after its previous deadly attacks. Deliberately targeting civilians does not demonstrate strength — it only deepens suffering and undermines respect for international law. 1/2

[Petra Bayr @PACE_President]

All men are created equal with certain unalienable rights, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – these words, pronounced in the city of Philadelphia on that day 250 years ago gave birth to the United States of America.

🇺🇦 Today, the flags of Ukraine and Europe fly at half-mast at the @CoE in memory of the victims of Russia's deadly air strikes on the night of 1-2 July.

We mourn with Ukraine and stand in solidarity with all those affected by this tragic attack.

🕯️Eternal memory to the victims.

Kyiv has endured another night of brutal Russian drone and missile attacks, including on residential buildings. While Ukraine acts in self-defence and strikes military targets, Russia again attacks civilians and terrorises. I stand in full solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

Did you know the @CoE has a treaty that makes it easier for everyone to access official documents? 📄👀

At a #PACEsummer2026 hearing, MPs learned more about the working of the Tromsø Convention - in force since 2020 - which encourages transparency in public administration.

[PACE @PACE_News]

The convention is now in force in 17 @CoE countries, aimed at creating a general "right of access" to official paperwork and data.

Take a look to see if your country is among them...
