The Ukrainian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) listed countries advocating the return of the Russian delegation to the session hall with the restoration of voting rights and participation in the Assembly bodies.
This was announced by the member of the Ukrainian delegation to the PACE MP Leonid Yemets.
“It is clearly seen how the delegations are divided into those who are for Russia’s return of Russia and those against it.” France, Germany, Italy, Iceland, San Marino, Turkey, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Monaco are for it, and Ukraine, Great Britain, Poland, Georgia, Lithuania are against”, the parliamentarian noted.
“Certainly, it is not the entire Assembly, but it is apparent how far the situation has changed following the decision of the CE Committee of Ministers. Those delegates who had previously carefully opposed Russia in PACE now had to support the decisions of their own governments”, added Yemets.
However, according to him, despite the complex situation, there are “several options for countering the Russian revenge.”
“Now we have submitted nearly 200 amendments. We will fight for each of them. If at least one of the amendments changing certain clauses of the regulations passes, we will be able to level the resolution as a whole. I had to admit, t is sad to look at how the Council of Europe destroys its own essence, the principles and values created by this international organization. The principles that should be more important than money”, said Yemets.
As reported by The Journalist, the relatives of flight MH17 victims against Russia’s returning to PACE.
