Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

I notice references in the declaration to the human rights situation in Belarus, the deteriorating position on media freedom and the call for the immediate release and rehabilitation of political prisoners. Why did the declaration make no mention of the human rights situation in Ukraine? As the Taoiseach is aware, the former Prime Minister was recently convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison in what the European Union has described as a political trial.
